The OLCC continues it's reign of terror as two additional clubs are ticketed for the "Lewd conduct" administrative rule recently invented by the OLCC as a tool to harass and intimidate adult entertainment clubs. Apparently, the entertainers touched their own breasts and exposed their genitals in a sexually lewd manor. ACE asks what determines "sexually lewd behavior?" That's the point here. Nobody seems to know. The administrative rule covering this is so vague, it leaves total discretion up to the inspectors to determine who is in violation. ACE cries foul ball on the OLCC on this one. It leaves a wide range of interpretation as to how such a rule can be enforced. What one inspector finds lewd, another may not. ACE says this is not fair enforcement. Get out of the morality police business already. Our schools are closing early, youth sports activities threatened from budget cuts and the OLCC continues its battle using valuable state resources to attempt to regulate what type of entertainment you can see as an adult. Regulate alcohol ­ not minds! Adult entertainment is a legal enterprise!

ACE wishes to make clear its position on the OLCC. We see the need for an alcohol licensing and regulator agency for alcohol. We feel it should be taxed not sold by the state. We also believe that the OLCC should be more accountable to the industry it exists for. Legal business owners should not live in fear of government harassment simply because they operate a venue which features adult entertainment or Hip-Hop music. Or perhaps you are simply on the OLCC's shit list. Either way, there needs to be some accountability. For example, in order to get rid of several hundred minor adult entertainers, the OLCC drafted an administrative rule which effected thousands of 18-21 year old comedians, musicians and contractors who can no longer perform in or service an adult-only area posted by the OLCC. Way to go guys. Our government dollars at work helping to de-simulate our economy even further.
