It was understood that staff would investigate and answer to Council next week. , Com 3/9/77XII. File HB 2213--Legalizing of Prostitution Mr. Williams of the Legislative Subcommittee indicated that no one on the Committee strongly felt that prostitution should be a crime. However, testimony by the Police Department indicated that legalizing prostitution would lead to organized crime, violence, pimp activity, etc., in the area, and for that reason the Committee had voted to oppose legalization of prostitution. Mr. Haws indicated that he felt these traditional arguments were not acceptable to him, and he was in favor of legalizing prostitution. Mayor Keller invited Councilman Haws to come down to his store area and see what goes on even though it's illegal. Mr. Haws declined the invitation.
