The Washington Post has the story:
Strip clubs, payday lenders, lobbyists fight to get emergency federal loans
In wave of lawsuits, companies battered by coronavirus shutdowns but excluded from aid seek small-business funds
"The Little Darlings strip club in Flint, Mich., was forced to turn off its stage lights and close its doors by the state’s stay-at-home order, but it failed to get a federal small-business emergency loan aimed at softening the financial blow from the pandemic.
"Owners of Little Darlings, along with clubs such as Baby Dolls in Dallas and Cheerleaders Gentlemen’s Club in Philadelphia, said it was wrong that they were excluded from the more than $600 billion Paycheck Protection Program created by Congress and the Trump administration to try to save businesses and jobs during the coronavirus crisis.
"So the strip clubs sued the Small Business Administration. And a federal judge in Wisconsin recently sided with the strip clubs, granting a preliminary injunction to force the government to issue loans to four of them, which government lawyers quickly appealed."
