It's about time our region's strip clubs and adult bookstores got a mark in the 'Win' column.
Today, Kansas senators voted 22-17 to leave the "Community Defense Act" in committee, essentially killing it for the remainder of the 2011 legislative session. Had the bill gotten to a full vote and passed the House and Senate, it could've shuttered the majority of Kansas strip clubs by putting them under the same pressures that Missouri's clubs are currently laboring under.
The bill's provisions included prohibiting nude or topless dancing and requiring a 6-foot separation between performers and patrons, as well as requiring adult businesses to be closed from midnight to 6 a.m., and requiring business owners and managers to constantly monitor customers.
Here's Federal and State Affairs Committee Chairman Pete Brungardt, a Republican, mind you, on why he rejected the bill: "It's an attempt by some to impose their version
of morality on everybody, which I don't approve of ... this is America."

Kansas...wow...didn't think they had clubs there. Thought it was a coastal phenomenon.
