Kure Beach mayor sticks with the “Thong Ban”

The mayor of Kure, Beach in North Carolina stands by his decision on the ban of thong swimwear in this beachside town.

The city ordinance has been implemented two weeks ago and so far there has been a lot of protests and noise regarding this issue.

The mayor has been interviewed about the possibility the council being sued by the people due to this and he said that he won’t be surprised if this happens.

This week, the mayor sent the council members a letter containing his threat to resign from his post because he will stick to his conservative views about the matter. He stressed that wearing of the thong swimwear in public can be distasteful and he does not want families to be offended when they go to the beach.

The town council voted unanimously to ban thong swimwear.
