Washington DC Massage Parlors: Political Notebook: Allen takes the reins
Written on June 5, 2010 – 5:00 am | by rubmedownthere
Bibb County Commission Chairman Sam Hart left for Washington, D.C., on Tuesday between the government’s committee meetings and its night meeting. That put Joe Allen in charge — for the first time in his 19 years as a commissioner.Allen, the vice chairman, seemed proud of how fast the county business got done, and he beamed as he signed a county ordinance cracking down on the city’s illicit massage parlors.
Separately, Chief Administrative Officer Steve Layson pointed out some unusual wording on the commissioners’ agenda: “Consideration of adoption of County ordinance respecting Massage Parlors.” Layson said that was meant more as an ordinance considering massage parlors. Commissioner Lonzy Edwards said the ordinance, in fact, disrespected the massage parlors.
For the record, we’re told that Hart’s at a National Association of County Officials leadership conference.
