Did the councilman say that they wouldn't let someone dressed this way in their city pool?

Well, it has been following the normal template for the City Council of Anywhere, US.
1. Business finds new way of bringing in customers.
2. City Council attempts to stop it.
Local Example: Thomas Sign wanted to put a couple of giant paintings on the outside of their building to show how nifty their signs looked. They painted. The city council threw a fit. Considerable wit and lawyers were exchanged. Eventually the city council gave a permit that somewhat read "Here is a permit to do what you are doing, even though you proved existing city regulations do not forbid it." Now their building has a painting of a gorilla breaking thru a wall, holding "The Permit".
Hopefully Barbie-Q has the same positive result.

But sheesh! Could they --just once-- slither out of the way and let a guy just find his profit in what the market will bear?
Bueller?
