Family Issues
For almost 40 years Federal and State Courts have upheld the constitutional right of lawmakers to regulate Sexually Oriented Businesses (SOB’s) because of the “Negative Secondary Effects” these types of businesses have on communities. The leading negative secondary effects are increased crime, increased sexually transmitted diseases, general blight, decreased property values, increased drug trafficking, prostitution, human trafficking, etc… These effects are not engines of prosperity. SOB’s do not add value to communities but are costly and increasingly burdensome to taxpayers. Senator Huntington voted against SB 514 and in favor of sexually oriented businesses.
