This guy wouldn't last five seconds as an elected official in this country
>>Proposal would move hookers into 'sex hotels'

After receiving complaints from residents about streetwalkers in their neighborhoods, one Lima- area mayor had an idea: Put them in discreet hotels.

>>LEGAL BROTHELS

So González has hit upon another solution that he hopes to sell to the other 41 mayors in Lima: Create legal brothels throughout the city in hotel-like buildings. The first floor would feature strip clubs where men could choose women who caught their fancy and then transact their business in upstairs rooms.

González heard about the idea from a group of Spanish lawmakers from Catalonia and saw it in action first-hand in Barcelona.

''I'd like to convert some of the regular hotels into sex hotels with municipal licenses,'' he said. ``Hotels would give greater security and stronger medical controls.''

Asked why he has adopted the issue as a personal crusade, González pointed to an oil painting in his office. ''He's responsible,'' he said, pointing to a likeness of his grandfather, Juan González.

As way of explanation, he handed a slim book with a green cover to a visitor: It was Juan González's 1918 doctoral dissertation. The subject: Regulating Prostitution in Lima.

''The interest is genetic,'' González said with a laugh.

But González has a more practical reason for wanting to crack down on street prostitution: He has received about 3,000 signed requests that he address the problem in Lince, which has a population of 75,000.<<

to get their kickbacks, too. :)

4. "Honey, I couldn't help it. I have a genetic interest in prostitutes!"
That's a new one.
