The manager of Fredericton's sole strip club says staff at the bar will soon be unemployed after the city approved buying the property for $500,000.
Holly Ramsay of the North Star Sports Bar Pub says she's been told the city will close the bar and put about 10 exotic dancers and other staff out of work.
Ramsay is questioning why tax dollars are being used to kill their jobs.
City council passed a resolution Monday night approving the purchase of the property at 100 Clark St.
Ramsay says she'd heard rumours of the city's interest, but she never imagined councillors would commit public funds to close the bar down.

...I understand certain cities don't want these, however, surely that is a waste of money...why not wait until the license expires or whatever, if they really want to get rid of it.
I know I wouldn't be happy with tax dollars going to this!!
