Using a 1926 law that regulates dancing,
both Mayor Rudy Guiliani and now his
successor Michael Bloomberg are
sending cops into the warehouse
districts of Manhattan looking for
people illegally shaking their booties.
The city is using the law "to combat
quality-of-life complaints and
troublesome clubs," Tricia
Romano writes in The Village Voice.
Increasing the anger of booming club
operators, "the nightlife industry's sole
voice ... is not in favor of repealing the
law," she writes.
