NO MORE OPENLY WELCOMING SPRING BREAKERS IN DAYTONA

The Daytona Beach News Journal reports today that the City Commission there Wednesday reached an apparant agreement to prohibit signs promoting Spring Break and a similar event for Canadian students, but did not issue a similar ban for other events there during the year such as Black College Reunion, Bike Week, and Biketoberfest.

There was no vote taken as the discussion was during a workshop meeting, but beachfront commissioners are pushing for the city to divorce itself from special events. Other commissioners disagreed, citing the $1.3 billion that such events bring to the local economy.

The issue is expected to be officially decided at an upcoming commission meeting.
