From Eric Dondero:

Legal brothels are a cash boom for Nevada's rural counties. A brothel owner makes the case, you close down the cathouses, you will need to close down the fire departments, police protection and a vast number of city services soon thereafter.

And from the individual liberty perspective, one prostitute reacts to Democrat Harry Reid's recent appeal to the state legislature to outlaw the practice statewide:

"My first reaction was, why is my elected official trying to make me a criminal? I was shocked hurt, felt disrspected."
