Texas Supreme Court OKs 'pole tax'

OFF THE WIRE

The Texas Supreme Court has upheld a law that mandates strip clubs that serve alcohol charge an entrance fee (how much?) to patrons. The money collected from the so-called "pole tax" goes to sexual assault prevention programs. Opponents of the law believe it is a violation of the First Amendment and is Unconstitutional (find the U.S. Constitution).
