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.

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
