The sinful depravity in Ohio never ceases to amaze, and this latest display threatens to unleash Gods awful wrath on the city of Canton. Expect tornadoes, flood, or drought.
The city officials would be wise to maintain the status quo and not allow midget strippers if they care for the residents of their district.
Also, those midgets need to go out and get real jobs. Doesn't the ACLU have a midget hiring program?
Liquor license suspended after topless 'midget wrestling'

CANTON —
The liquor license for a Canton business will be suspended for 60 days because two women wrestled topless at a recent "midget wrestling event."
The penalty is substantial, Mayor Kevin Meade said after the city liquor commission voted unanimously Wednesday to suspend the license for Outskirts Bar and Grill at 725 W. Locust St. "It's meant to send a message to other businesses in town that this won't be tolerated," Meade said.
Outskirts owner Kim Scott cried after the vote. "I'm not being treated like any other business," she said. "Don't tell me I am, because I'm not."
Outskirts hosted a Micro Wrestling Federation event on Aug. 16. Scott said she had a contract with the group for male wrestlers to perform. When the group arrived, Scott said, two women in oil were wrestling topless while she was outside smoking. Scott said she stopped the match as soon as she found out the women were topless.
City liquor license ordinances prohibit nudity. "The match didn't last very long . . . maybe four or five minutes," Scott said. "It was not intentional. Would I let it happen? No." Outskirts has a Class B supper club license, which means at least 60 percent of its sales must come from food and no more than 40 percent from alcohol. Meade, who is also the liquor commissioner, said Outskirts does not seem like a restaurant. "Everything I see going on out there is a bar," he said. Scott said Outskirts is a bar after 9 p.m. and a restaurant before that.
Meade and commissioners Bonnie Stine and Mike Freeman voted for the suspension. After the meeting, Scott's attorney, Aaron Wickenhauser, said Scott plans to appeal the decision to the State Liquor Commission.
Scott said not being able to sell alcohol will hurt her business, but she will make it through and still plans to apply for a Class A liquor license, which would not restrict the amount of alcohol sales at the bar. "I have bartenders with families," she said. "They just lost their jobs." Meade said he supports jobs and business growth in the city, but not at the cost of breaking city laws.
The suspension takes effect as soon as city attorney Chrissie Peterson files the official notice to Outskirts, which will likely be Thursday.
