Pole Dancing International spokesperson, Billy Bob Ray, reports that problems may derail PDI plans to open its facility in Marshall.
Mr. Ray said he understands the problems started when Washington Columnist Bob Novak reported that unnamed White House sources were investigating suspicious artistic and athletic activities in East Texas. It is reported that local representatives were concerned that these activities were not compatible with the values of the community and the new facility would attract big crowds wanting to evaluate the value of the performances.
PDI said that it cannot say that it has been targeted but it did think it was unusual that headquarters was contacted by the IRS, OSHA and Pat Robertson on the same day.
Ray continued, Being contacted by the IRS is troubling, dealing with OSHA is a pain, and a call from Pat Robertson is downright scary.
