Minnesota County Commissioners Hear Arguments to Remove Porn From Hotels

ROCHESTER, Minn. — A group of officials from the Olmstead, Minn., county public health department asked local government in Rochester, Minn., to put a stop to pay-per-view porn in local hotels.

The group also includes officials from the Mayo Clinic. All of them are calling for "clean" hotels. To get it done, they've gone straight to the top, meeting with county commissioners and even one regional operations director for Sunshine Hotel Investors, a company that controls several major hotels in the Rochester area.

Sunshine Hotel Investors' Bruce Fairchild isn't ready to dump adult entertainment from the hotels yet.

"Unfortunately I can't today, because we're contractually obligated" to the company that offers the service, he said. "When that contract is up, we probably will take it out."

The company in question is called the LodgeNet Interactive Corporation. Representatives for LodgeNet also said they'll remove the content as soon as the year-long contract is completed.

Rochester County Administrator Richard Devlin said that although some citizens are complaining that their rights are being compromised by the removal of adult entertainment from these hotels, it's just a matter of time before they get used to it.
