Appearently a Gentlemen's Strip Club is attempting to locate at U.S. 421 south of I-94 just down the road from Coolspring Elementary school. The Michigan City Area Schools have adoped a resolution to the La Porte County Zoning Board of Appeals to stop it from going in.

As I see it, there is one real way to fight it. Make it unprofitable to locate in LaPorte County, and that can be done in a few easy steps.
-First ban alcohol completely at these locations. Sale and procession can be made illegal at specific types of places. -Second, pass a head tax based on the original casino charter that saw $3 a head paid by Blue Chip back to the county and city. -Third, institute a tax specifically as a percentage of total revenues, also similar to how Blue Chip is now taxed. Make it a high percentage, say 25 or 30%. If you kill the profit incentive, you kill the club. |

You can't complain about companies not wanting to come here and getting tax money here in town and then at the same time say well I don't want this kind of business here. To do something like this is completely insane. You can't tax a business at a different rate or way then another business. You don't want the business here that's fine do it properly peacefully picket them get all of your friends together to picket the building. Get the signatures needed to keep it away but to apply taxes at a different rate then say a bar like rileys is insanity. Also banning alcohol at a business that has a valid license again paying taxes on said license and bringing money into the city, is illegal. I don't see how you think this business is going to drive people away when people come here and drive up the boulevard to the casino and are scared if they're going to get robbed. That think they may get robbed at the lighthouse mall. When they're worried about if they will be able to go the lake without issues raised to them. You want tourists here? Then we need to clean up the city. While you're worried about a strip club that's going to sell sex in town our children are out there robbing former teachers and killing them.... THAT'S WHY PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO COME HERE. Wake up. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable.
