Strip Club’s Getting More Expensive

A trip to the local strip joint will likely cost more starting next week.

An adult entertainment surcharge goes into effect January 1^st as a way to try and raise money for sexual assault prevention.  Strip club owners have the option of either charging a three dollar cover charge or pay an annual tax of 5 to 25 thousand dollars based on the clubs revenues.

The so-called “pole tax” passed unanimously in both the House and Senate.
