The candidate running this year with a real connection to prostitution in the city is Jackie Cherryhomes. According to local police offers attempting to control prostitution on the North Loop downtown, they have been stopped on several occasions from closing the sauna on Washington Ave. next door to Sex World due to the fact that half of it is owned by Jackie's husband.
Concerns have been expressed to me by residents of the North Loop who were active in helping the police corral the notorious Evans brothers, who were busted not long ago for running one of the largest prostitution rings in the country and are now out on our streets again and alleged connections with Jackie via her husband. Now from what I understand Jackie's husband is a criminal defense attorney and shouldn't necessarily be held up for defending his clients well, regardless of who they are. But when those clients seem to benefit from actions of a sitting city councilperson it raises serious questions, if the allegations by neighborhood police and community members are true. I think it will be interesting to see how this story unfolds. David Strand ward 7 Loring Park __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
