By Bill O'NeilThere's no effort to shut anyone down--the word from San Antonio's City Attorney--on the heels of a new lawsuit filed by about a dozen strip clubs over the city's recently rewritten sexually oritented business ordinance.
City Attorney Michale Bernard told 550 KTSA News the goal was always to close loopholes in the old law--adding those who wrote the new ordinance really didn't break any new ground.
"We modeled ours (new ordinance) basically after what other courts have approved" Bernard said.
The rewritten ordinance classifies any business as sexually oriented if the entertainer is wearing less than a bikini. Bernard said that's a far cry from an effort to force anyone to clsoe their doors.

"It will put people out of business who don't want to comply--but I don't think it will generally put sexually oriented businesses out" Bernard said.
