Your Tax Dollars Are Buying Lap Dances

By Vince Leibowitz  on Feb 12, 2008 in Texas Public Policy & Taxation      

Yes, your tax dollars are going to fund lap dances at strip clubs, according to records from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission released to Robert Guest, the attorney-blogger behind I Was The State:

TABC spends a lot of tax money on beer and lapdances. They document this waste of tax dollars on “purchase of evidence” reports.

Here is a POE report from Dallas for two weeks in May. It shows no less than 9 lapdances purchased with public money. This undercover work appears to be more of a government subsidy for strip clubs than actual law enforcement.

I would love to know exactly how you justify expenses like this to the State Auditor? And, why are they buying lap dances? Is it actually necessary to buy a lap dance to enforce liquor laws?
