yes you are correct, the Mayor was different when the place opened, however, a complaint was issued while the current Mayor was in office. The complaint came before the death. Would changes in the operation have prevented the death? According to the DA no, does that mean the business was in no way responsible? According to the DA no, however it is difficult for people to believe that a business selling VCR cleaner, whether under the guise of a gym, or men's sex club is a legitimate business practice for either entity, especially since this substance was very well known for being used for recreation. Is selling a substance that is known to be used in this way a responsible business practice? Do businesses get in trouble everyday for irresponsible business practices? Yes, often they do, unfortunately many times they don't. Depends on how the pendulum swings, in this instance claiming ignorance of the matter was enough for the DA. I was always taught that ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it.
