A bill to legalize adult prostitution in Vermont was recently introduced by female lawmakers in the state’s legislature.
The bill’s text read:
This bill proposes to repeal the prostitution laws while retaining felony human trafficking laws that prohibit recruiting, enticing, harboring, transporting, providing, or obtaining a minor for the purpose of commercial sex; patronizing a minor for commercial sex; recruiting, enticing, harboring, transporting, providing, or obtaining any person through force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of having the person engage in commercial sex; compelling any person through force, fraud, or coercion to engage in commercial sex; and patronizing any person for a commercial sex act who is being compelled through force, fraud, or coercion to engage in a commercial sex.
One of the bill’s sponsors, Rep. Selene Colburn who is a Burlington Progressive, said she believed decriminalizing so-called “sex work” would offer prostitutes more safety and improve their health.
Colburn also stated that if prostitution were not considered illegal in the state, charges would not be brought against the sex worker or the buyer, the VTDigger reported.

And it will remain a mostly cash business. If you put it on a card there's a paper trail for the wife, girlfriend, employer, cops etc. to follow.

I disagree with that.
If prostitution is kept illegal, and a John beats and rapes a woman who is a prostitute, she has no protection at all from the law. If she tries going to the police (or even calling for help while being assaulted,) she opens herself up to criminal charges, and unfortunately, many in law enforcement (and the public) see the assault as "something that she was asking for."
As long as they keep laws on the books that go after pimps and traffickers, a woman should have the option of making a bad choice, but in some cases, it's the only choice she may have.
I've just seen the current laws as being something that victimizes women twice, while protecting men who are predators.

Generally they are getting income taxes from prostitutes who make high amounts of money pay taxes under other income in order to avoid being investigated for not having a visible means of support financing their lifestyle.
When I think Vermont I think of skiing and Trout fishing. Looks like I may have to adjust my thinking.
