Missouri Governor Pushes Strip Club Regulations
Business Owners To Challenge New Law In Court

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt is pressing for more regulation of strip clubs.

Last week, Blunt signed legislation that would prohibit lap dances and full nudity in Missouri strip clubs. The bill prohibits customers or employees younger than 21 at strip clubs and it also requires seminude employees to remain at least 10 feet away from customers and behind a 2-foot high railing. The bill prohibits employees from touching customers.

"I believe this will stifle the operation of those businesses, and I don't think it's a bad thing," Blunt said.

"You don't have a problem legislating morality?" KMBC's Dan Weinbaum asked.

"I don't have a problem enforcing community standards," Blunt said. "I don't think this is good industry to have in Missouri. I'm comfortable doing things I know and we all know will stifle operations in our state."

Committee to study potential state tax on sex businesses

JOHN HANNA

Associated Press


TOPEKA, Kan. - A new state tax on sex shops, strip clubs and other sexually oriented businesses is on the Legislature's agenda, with its leaders Monday marking the issue for study this summer and fall.

A proposed tax is the brainchild of Phillip Cosby, an Abilene resident who's been fighting such businesses for two years, ever since a store selling explicit DVDs, sex toys and other adult novelties opened along Interstate 70 north of his hometown.

Utah imposed such a tax in 2004, but it has been challenged by clubs and an escort service. The Oklahoma House approved a proposed tax this year, but it stalled in the state Senate. A lawmaker proposed a tax in Missouri, but it wasn't in the final version of legislation that banned nude dancing.

Cosby said a tax would require sexually oriented businesses to help pay for some of the social ills they cause, which he argues include increased crime and blight. But a tax also will help make communities less hospitable to such businesses, he said.

"That's a good first step," he said.

As a man of R-n I approve of these actions.

Yep, Kansas sucks all right.

Blunt is maybe the only guy I can think of that could make someone look back fondly on the years Ashcroft was govenor.

I used to love business trips to KC because of the $5 full nude lap dances at the clubs down south of Overland Park near Lenexa. There were two clubs out in the middle of nowhere - was the area called the bottoms?

South of OP near Lenexa ? No, that's not the bottoms and it isn't out in the middle of nowhere anymore. That area is all built up and is the heart of Johnson County now

The bottoms are North of there alongside the Missouri river. There used to be Bachelors III in the bottom of a hotel up there and then there was the Red Apple Lounge in the Middle of Kansas City, KS. Both are long gone. There were some others in the area too, but Kansas did have some of the nastiest clubs around...lol..

There are some others just outside of Johnson County now, but they are no longer as nasty as they were, No more BJs in the corner, no more "open crotch shorts" lap dances.

Okay. It was probably 10 years ago. I googled a map. The clubs were near some railroad tracks in the middle of nowhere (at that time). They sat on opposite sides of the road off of highway 7 east of Gardner. Possibly near the present-day Ironhorse Golf Club?
