Virginia and my state will follow suit.
Yeh....like the pimps are going to pay taxes.....
You can’t stop it, best you can do is license and tax it. Get the useless policing out of it. Besides, what is the different for going online to one of the dating sites, taking a date out for wine and dine, taking the date home and having sex, date says thanks for the night, see ya.
A bill to legalize adult prostitution in Vermont was recently introduced by Radical Lesbians in the state’s legislature. /fixed
The state sees $$$ in terms of licensing and registration fees (in the interests of public health, of course) as well as income taxes they currently aren’t getting a cut of.
That old book Future Shock would have deleted things like this. Too silly.
Why not a Golden Calf celebration to replace Christmas? Lots of sponsors could be pressured into backing the TV coverage.
Sorry I brought that up. Some guy at a desk in a New York City high rise is probably on the phone setting that up now.
Socialism and socialists allow prostitution? /s
Just wait for the taxes they will put on it. Will still be cheaper to find your local girl or guy who charges no taxes like the weed tax in Chicago.
A nearby state, Rhode Island, recently made prostitution ILLEGAL. It WAS legal for the indoors (hotels, strip clubs, etc.)
It was a draw for crime, human trafficking, gangs, and lots of bad elements.
Socialist state Vermont needs to look 100 miles to its southeast to learn from liberal state Rhode Island. Vermont presently has a very clean and enviable tourist draw: scenery, arts, food, festivals. That image goes away quickly with just a few poorly placed road advertisements letting the minivan full of kids that good boob can be found at the next exit
Some say the Nevada model of legal prostitution works well. Among other things, there are licensing and health requirements, including mandatory condom use.
Prostitution in some form has been around since the dawn of time. The question really is, in my opinion, how do we regulate it, enforce laws or regulations dealing with this activity.
They want to be the first sanctuary state for pimps/human traffickers. Think of the job growth they could experience!
Once this has developed and been regulated, expect business travel, tourism and travel in general to explode in Vermont.
Nevada brothel franchises will invade.

I didn’t realize hookers are that big of a dem voting bloc.
They are wanting to legalize what they’ve been practicing for decades.
We are surely living in the end times.
We are living in Babylon.
Lawmakers making hooking legal, reminds me of why sharks avoid lawyers: professional courtesy.
Bernie Ho’s
Politicians trying to legalize their existence. Legislators who want to get paid over the counter rather than under it.
