L.A. City Council Has No Plans to Stop Issuing Permits to Porn Industry

Despite the recent HIV-positive test result that brought Porn Valley to a halt, Los Angeles has no plans to cease issuing permits to adult entertainment production companies for filming.

Per the LA Weekly‘s Informer, Councilman Richard Alarcon, chair of the jobs and economic development committee that oversees the permits, spoke to the council on the matter, saying:

I don’t think there’s a majority or even close to a majority [on the council] that are even interested in this subject … To pull the permits for all the businesses … could cause some severe legal challenges that could cost the taxpayers money.

As much as many of us are appalled by that activity, they are completely willing and capable of defending themselves with the highest paid lawyers to fight for their civil rights and, to date, they have been able to fend off these kinds of challenges.

Tensions are rising, we can feel it.
