Chicago Prostitutes a Real Bargain

"Client 10" should have just looked in his own backyard instead of flying a prostitute all the way from Los Angeles. Not only would he have avoided violating the Mann Act and saved on the airfare, but according to a report in the Sun Times, high end call girls in Chicago are a real bargain:

Not that [the anonymous Chicago escort interviewed] would say exactly what she charges, other than that it's "not much higher" than what she described as Chicago's going rate of $700 to $800 an hour for top prostitutes.

At the Emperors Club VIP in New York, where Spitzer dabbled, fees start at $1,000 and rise to $5,500.

But just because Chicago's escorts are "cheap" doesn't mean they're easy:

She said she won't see a client until she's researched his family, his profession and his income. And don't try to get away with a freebie: "I have called many a wife when someone doesn't honor their agreement," she said, adding, "I warn [the clients] many times before I make that contact."

With this kind of personal choice, selectivity and amount of money that changes hands the "exploitation" argument seems removed from the world of high priced prostitution. Should such "classy" escort services remain illegal? Seems like Daley is missing out on a lucrative tax revenue opportunity.
