Topless Bars Banned From Paying Taxi Kickbacks, for now

As reported earlier on the Buffet lawmakers chose to get out of regulating the practice of paying kickbacks to taxi drivers for delivering customers to their door. Before that happened though a number of the major clubs entered into an agreement to stop the practice. And, as also reported earlier, that unity among club owners proved short lived. Apparently, however, that agreement on December 5 turned out to be in writing and, for now anyway, legally binding. Enter the courts. According to the Review-Journal:
Judge Stewart Bell issued an injunction Wednesday in a lawsuit in which a coalition of clubs claims Scores Las Vegas, 3355 Procyon Ave., failed to abide by the coalition's Dec. 5 agreement to suspend such payouts.
So for now cabbies will have to get by being paid only by their actual customers.
