Update....... I lost the first battle, now on to the next. I am appealing Councils decision with the Variance Board. Filled the paperwork yesterday. Also looking into surrounding communities, and inquiring as to any ordinances on the books.

As far as the State superseding local ordinance, ABMP was not correct with that comment. I contacted the Pa. State Board of Massage Therapy and was informed differently.

That's my thoughts exactly. I don't want to hurt the chance of getting this changed. But as you say , If I don't prevail then maybe I will have the news do a piece on this.

Sorry, my math brain wasn't at it's peak tonight!  Personally, I would address the council first, give them a chance.  It may just be a formality since there is a law on their books.  IF you don't prevail and you have the news willing to do a piece, I would jump on it!

Its a 28 year old law. Yes the Government Liaison person from ABMP also said that state law supersedes local restrictions, but I just don't trust these local government officials. Channel 4 news wants to do an interview with me but I don't know if I should do anything like that before I go before council on the 15th.

Thanks Tom,

Gotta love those laws governing "Massage Parlors"- You are in a tough situation.  You will need to appeal to the City Council.  Since you are an ABMP member, I would contact them and seek guidance.  The 18 year old law was obviously long before licensure.  It is possible that the new licensure regulations will change their minds, and that state law would supersede that local restriction.  Good Luck.
