2) Pay up Burch! [by Anonymous Citizen on March 3, 2008]
The first to pay should be Burch because he is the biggest skank from Jefferson County. Lying doesn't become old men.

3) Excellent idea [by Anonymous Citizen on March 1, 2008]
This bill is a great idea. These types of businesses tend to bring increased prostitution and other crime to communities so it only makes sense for patrons to help foot the bill by paying an additional tax. Ten bucks really isn't much considering how much typically spent by patrons once they get inaide the club. And since these businesses promote the exploitation of women, it's also a good idea to set the funds aside for programs that will help women.
