The City of Lincoln is cracking down on businesses that may be fronts for illegal activity. 

Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch indicates that they recently dealt with a situation involving a massage parlor in town, that was engaging in illegal activity behind the scenes. He said it is a tough balance between stopping crimes from happening in these businesses, while respecting the rights of those who are operating honestly and legally. 

The topic of these massage parlors has been discussed openly at recent City Council meetings, and Mayor Welch says they have even heard from members of the industry who are against the illegal activity of their peers. 

We'll have more from Mayor Welch in the weeks ahead from the Hart Media Group on anti-soliciting efforts being taken up by the City.
