No sagging pants in Chicago suburb
LYNWOOD, Ill. Village leaders have passed an ordinance that would levy $25
fines against anyone showing three inches or more of their
underwear in public.
Eugene Williams is the mayor of Lynwood. He says young men walk
around town half-dressed, keeping major retailers and economic
development away. He calls the new law a hot topic.
The American Civil Liberties Union says the ordinance targets
young men of color.
Young adults in the village, like 21-year-old Joe Klomes, say
the new law infringes on their personal style. He says leaders
should instead spend money on making the area look nicer.
