For more than a year a group of Spokane-area moms have been gathering signatures to put the issue of scantily clad bikini baristas up for a vote.
"We can understand if you disagree, we understand that, just vote." Beth Solscheid says. She is among the group gathering signatures. The group gathered more than 3,300 signatures almost 1,000 more than needed to get a citizens initiative on a ballot.
"We have developed a thick skin." says Kim Curry. "We don't mind the name calling we sometimes get, we just want people to understand the issue and let their voice be heard." The moms say they are not against bikinis or even lingerie. What they are trying to prevent, they say, is the wearing is pasties and G-strings in public or anything less.
In 2013, Spokane Valley passed an ordinance making it law that all private parts must be covered and at least half of women's breast must be covered by an opaque covering. The ordinance being pushed forward by the group in Spokane would mirror Spokane Valley's ordinance.
