Strip club owners say Seattle voters should decide whether brighter lights, tip jars and a four-foot distance between dancers and customers should be required in Seattle’s adult cabarets, according to a published report.
Attorneys for Seattle Citizens for Free Speech on Monday delivered petitions with more than 27,000 signatures calling for a ballot referendum to repeal the stricter strip club rules, the Associated Press reported. All the group needed to qualify was 14,000 valid signatures.
It is unclear when the question would go on the ballot. It could be as early as February or as late as next fall, according to the report.
Strip club owners say the new law is aimed at putting three clubs, now open, out of business, AP reported.
