The resolution also condemns the Howard Johnson hotel chain for allowing the event to be held at a St. Louis facility.

Ooooohhhh, scary. Tax money at work. Thanks, you idiots.

Bottom line: Howard Johnson's wants to allow it. Government could not convince them not too. Government tries to find anything in the (specious)law to say they can't, and then spends money to "pass a resolution" condemning a private property owner. Just another example of government out of control.

There was a hotel that was seized in Houston a couple of years back because there was prostitution and drug use going on in the rooms. The manager/owner just refused to intervene (he was neither pimp, nor drug pusher).

Should he have been permitted to remain in business?
