  Proponents of the measure were able to collect more than 12,000 signatures, including those from three members of the Board of Supervisors, to put it on the ballot, according to the Erotic Service Providers Union, the labor group backing the measure. The same group was unsuccessful in putting a similar measure on the ballot in 2006.

    As it is victimless, it should be legal. There would be less spread of disease since both the John and the prostitute would be pretested. Taxes could be collected. It would lessen the burden on our prison and legal system saving much needed money.

    No one would be forced into a compromising situation or controlled by criminals

      Not that I'm against this, however, to think that it will get rid of criminals, disease and pimps is the same as thinking it's a lollipop world with a marmalade sky. There will always be crack wh0res, pimps and freelancers--and the people who frequent them.

        It seems that wherever else prostitution is regulated, it seems that between some partially cloudy moments, there certainly is "a lollipop world with marmalade skies".

        And they get pensions, too!

          It hasn't seemed to hurt the State of Nevada or the certain counties in that state that have outright legalized it.

          I agree with PHB that it will not totally eliminate all the evils of society, but it might free up law enforcement to pursue more dangerous criminals - besides horny businessmen on expense accounts.

          And besides, think of all those congressmen who will flock there to do legally what they have been breaking the law doing for years! No more foot tapping in rest rooms, yaaaaayyyyy!

          Wow! This is way better than the George W. Bush Sewage Treatment Plant!

  I have never used a prostitute but see no reason it should be a crime to do so. What two people agree to do together(have sex)should be no body's business but theirs.

  If the girls receive most of the money I'm OK with it. It's when the slimy pimps and general users and abusers get involved that problems occur. The girls at the Nevada Brothels (I'm told) get tested for AID/HIV and general STD's on a regular bases. The government taxes and regulates the health testing schedule.

  "If a certain crime is overwhelming local law enforcement just to what Reno/Washoe County, Nevada does, legalize it. Gambling and Prostitution are both legal in Nevada, Hell, if they legalized methamphetamine we could have weekends off".

  I agree with Harbeas.

  It should be the choice of the two consenting adults.

  But these girls need to be protected from slimy pimps and others that would hurt them.

  It need to be somewhat regulated like they do in Nevada

  To prevent diseases being spread to the girls and their customers.

  Legalize Marijuana ,not meth.

  Tweeker geekers cause more crimes than stoners.
