Lighthouse Strip Club Update: Emerald City's Last Remaining Downtown Titty Bar Gets the Ax

Seems to us that if Godfrey wants to live in a city with the squeaky clean ambiance of Provo, it would make a heck of a lot more sense for Godfrey to just move there, wouldn't it?

Just as we predicted last week, Boss Godfrey has given the Lighthouse Strip Club the ax, according to this morning's Standard-Examiner:

• Mayor explains deadlines for closing two Ogden strip clubs

More evidence of a small-business unfriendly Emerald City Administration.

More cash-strapped mothers bound for the unemployment lines, in a brutal high unemployment economy.

Another unnecessary lawsuit for the city to defend, in all likelihood:

[Lighthouse Owner John] Chevalier said he will sue the city if Godfrey reaffirms his earlier decision."The ordinance is illegal," he said. "You can't pass a law to get rid of a business."

That's right, gentle readers, the Std-Ex reports that Mr. Chevalier has already lawyered up. Emerald City taxpayers will happily note that under the leadership of the Godfrey Administration, litigation money apparently grows on trees.

In a worst case scenario, another downtown building poised to be "boarded up," we suppose.

Seems to us that if Godfrey wants to live in a city with the squeaky clean ambiance of Provo, it would be a heck of a lot more sensible (and far less costly to the Ogden taxpayers) for Godfrey to just move there, wouldn't it?

But maybe that's just us.
