Phoenix Massage Parlors: Porn Scandal Shocks City Planners — But Doesn’t Surprise Them
Posted by: phoenixmassage in Phoenix massage parlors… Derogatory anti-gay remarks, misogynist remarks — things that were pretty sexist” were not uncommon at senior-level meetings, recalls one longtime former employee. The alleged raunchy e-mails “were not an aberration. You can understand why these e-mails were circulated and tolerated when top management was engaging in it and tolerated it.”
It’s not like anyone can plead ignorance either, if the e-mails — for which SF Weekly has filed a public records request — are explicit pornography. Planning department higher-ups and rank-and-file know that disseminating porn on city computers during work hours is not kosher. Period.
Working in code-enforcement, “We were monitoring massage parlors and trying to ascertain whether they were legitimate massage therapists or something we should be working on with the vice squad,” recalled a planning department source. “We had to go to Web sites that were pretty raunchy and had to get special dispensation — with Larry Badiner’s knowledge. We had to get a release to do those kinds of searches.”
