Nashville Massage Parlors: Erickson offers new massage rule plan

16 03 2010

If Macon City Councilman Erick Erickson finally has his way — two years, several raids and dozens of arrests after he first raised the issue — the city would no longer offer business licenses to suspect massage parlors. While Bibb County works to implement strict licensing requirements that mirror laws in many other Georgia cities, Erickson said he’s been forced to introduce a “stop-gap” measure because objections from the city attorney’s office have stopped his previous efforts.

Councilman Rick Hutto said he’s still confused why it’s taken this long for the city to regulate the massage parlors.
“If City Council can concern itself with dogs and cats, certainly we can concern ourself with women who have been trafficked,” he said, referencing concerns that the massage parlors are also involved with sex trafficking.
