Description | Though a political moderate, state Sen. Robert Cowles doesn’t mind touting his conservative views on social issues.
“I’d like to think,” the Green Bay Republican said last week, “that I have family values.”
But you wouldn’t know it from looking at his investment portfolio.
According to his latest ethics statement, Cowles had more than $50,000 invested in two companies — Rick’s Cabaret International and VCG Holding — that operate numerous upscale strip clubs throughout the United States. Under state law, Wisconsin officials have to disclose only whether their investments are above or below $50,000.
Along with owning 15 strip clubs, Rick’s Cabaret also runs an extensive number of erotic Web sites, holds an annual Gentleman’s Club Owners Expo and publishes several magazines, including TEEZE and Exotic Dancer. |
