Sacramento Strip Clubs: Pot and politics
It helped Harding that the 3rd District—including Arden Arcade, Carmichael, North Highlands and East Sacramento—had grown steadily more Democratic in registration over the years, and the party now holds a slight registration advantage.
Peters, by contrast, is one of the more conservative members on the board, part of an overall rightward shift of the board in the last decade. (Can we get Illa Collin back?)
Peters was part of a (failed) effort to police what people browsed on computers in public libraries; she’s been a reliable vote for developers, against needle exchange and for trying to shut down medical-marijuana shops.
Enter civil rights attorney Jeff Kravitz, who announced earlier this month that he wants to take Peters on.
Bites first met Kravitz when he was hosting a public-affairs show on KDVS called Panic Attack. The show’s theme music was David Bowie’s “Panic in Detroit,” and back then Kravitz defended strip clubs and hip-hop clubs from overzealous cops and code-enforcement officers.
