[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 913469, member: 13254"] I bet I can straighten out this confusion from close up personal knowledge. First of all, the two quotes are talking about two different issues that may be related in the legalistic framework. So they really aren't contradictory. "Supersede" and "grandfathered" , "special dispensation" are not the same thing. I do not know the framework of NV's prostitution laws, how some counties have it yet others do not. On the other hand I can tell you about the alcohol laws in Lubbock County Texas. The state gives the counties the right to vote on wet/dry issues, each Tx county (outside their perspective cities) has their own elections to decide if alcohol can legally be sold, in turn the counties give the right for the towns/cities to decide for themselves(inside the city limits) as well. When I was a kid there was no legal alcohol sales in Lubbock county, period. Then the voters in ONE Lubbock County Precinct(not the whole county). That gave birth to "The Strip" as well as a few other Liquor stores located in that precinct, there were two just outside of the small town of Slaton. You couldn't buy booze in town in Lubbock but you could just over the line. In short, Texas laws made booze sales legal if the individual county's voters approved.
