“It’s been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first,” said Ronald Reagan.
Well, at least in Nevada, the two fields have a formal (albeit not exclusive) relationship. ย The Nevada Brothel Owners Association has hired help in the form of lobbyist George Flint.ย ย Take: even hookers have lobbyists.
Turns out that Nevada’s regulated brothel industry has suffered with the recession, and has also lost business due to women realizing they can make out easier using the internet to market themselves rather than answering to brick-and-mortar establishments.ย
“The brothels survive off what we call disposable income,” said Flint in an interview with NBC news, “There’s not a lot of that to spend right now. A lot of gentlemen who, for years, have gone to a brothel don’t have the funding that they did five or 10 years ago… As business has fallen off, many of the girls have moved from the brothels to illegal prostitution.”
A quick internet search reveals that Flint also represents the Reno Wedding Chapel Alliance and Chapel of the Bells, suggesting that he is a man who represents love in all forms.
