MADISON, Wis. -- An ordinance covering adult entertainment stores passed the City Council unanimously Wednesday night.

News 3 reports the changes in the ordinance may be aimed at Red Letter News, an adult entertainment store on East Washington Avenue.

However, Madison's city attorney insists the action is not aimed at any one business. City attorney Jim Martin would not comment on the specific wording of the ordinance; nor would he say the ordinance was drafted because of the controversy surrounding Red Letter News.

The District 12 alderperson where Red Letter sits, who sponsored the ordinance, told News 3 it will help protect the establishment. But, he's also rallying support to shut Red Letter down.

"We want to make sure that their First Amendment rights are protected too, the bottom line is we're not against small business, we're not against pornography, we support everybody's First Amendment rights but we want to hold this business accountable," said alderman Brian Benford.

Benford hopes a gathering on June 25 will bring more than 100 people together in protest of this adult entertainment store.

He wants the community to realize illegal activities the store has been accused of, including people having sex inside the store, are detrimental to Madison.

"If people are looking for prostitutes at 3 a.m., they're coming to this corner here at North and Milwaukee street," Benford said. "If people are looking to engage in illegal drug activity they're going to come to this corner."

Red Letter News goes to court Friday to face allegations of illegal activity.

Its lawyer told News 3 the business is a legally operating business, and the owners put together a plan to make sure what allegedly happened does not occur.

Red Letter's license is up for renewal soon.
