Your Tax Dollars Are Buying Lap Dances

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?
