Some good news on the family front where the Connecticut Supreme Court has upheld the right of the Town of Berlin to regulate so-called adult businesses.
The high court's unanimous ruling comes a month after hearing arguments from attorneys representing the town and VIP, an adult novelty store. The dispute is over the legality of a Berlin ordinance regulating the location of sexually oriented businesses.
At least five other municipalities around the state enacted similar laws, said Berlin lawyer Erika Amarante.
"I'm obviously pleased," Amarante said. "I'm sure those municipalities are happy as well."
Berlin officials contend the ordinance is a way to control the adult businesses that have popped up in recent years. The ordinance bars adult-themed businesses from being within 250 feet of a residentially zoned area.
Give thanks for this good news and let's pray for sanity to make more inroads. More here from the Connecticut Post.
