NL- This happened last Friday
FSC Executive Director Diane Duke and FSC Board Chair Jeffrey Douglas met today with Los Angeles City Administrator Miguel Santana and his staff to discuss the recently enacted condom ordinance for adult industry productions.
Duke and Douglas listened to the City Administrator’s thoughts on the ordinance in general and the complications inherent in its implementation and enforcement specifically. FSC discussed constitutional issues raised by the ordinance and voiced concern over the potential for government overreach in its enforcement.
According to Duke, the meeting was very successful.
“We appreciate the opportunity to meet with the City Administrator, to communicate the industry’s concerns, and to receive information and clarification about the City’s options for moving forward,” she said.
In January, the condom ordinance for adult industry productions was signed into law by L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and went into effect on March 5. The L.A. City Council directed the City Administrator’s Office (CAO) to organize the Adult Film Industry Working Group as the entity responsible for creating an implementation structure for the condom ordinance.
According to CAO staff, the next meeting of that working group will be Friday, May 11th.
Probably the people in power thought the porn industry would fall into place and all they had to do was sit back and collect the tax and fee money.
Many people are saying that the porn companies are quietly either moving to other ordianance free areas or planning to. LA might need to rethink their strategy over this matter.
If the industry is lucky some of the LA power people might even of had an epiphany and realize that the AHF (and Weinstein) really wants porn gone for good and not a safer work environment for the workers (like they have been led to believe) while the tax men count their money as it rolls in to the city and county coffers.
Rubbers really rub me the wrong way.
That’s right Karmafan! South of the Border and South America, Virgin Island(i wish they were still Vrigins) and Elsewhere. Fuck LA. 40 million in loss taxes and the can lay off some more city worker’s and “EAT SHIT”.
