(May 26, 2007)
When they weren't fighting, state lawmakers spent Friday - thinking about strip clubs.
Specifically, a $5 tax on anyone who walks into a strip club.
The money would go to sexual assault prevention programs and services, research, and indigent health care.
The House approved the "pole tax" on Friday, the Senate had done so earlier.
No word if Governor Perry will sign it into law.
