URA Proposals Like Strip Poker?

(Lenore) Barrett, pictured, a miner and investor who's been giving good quote for 18 years, strongly opposes a 66-page revision of Idaho urban renewal law drafted by an attorney for Boise's Capital City Development Corporation. Barrett objected to using House Bill 567 as a template for reform and possible incorporation of six other bills generally opposed by redevelopment agencies across the state. "I'm not supporting 567 as a template," Barrett said. "That's like playing strip poker. This was written by the people who are all on one side of the issue." Added Barrett: "If you're gonna play strip poker, the first thing you give up is your tie. That's no big deal. You just sit around hoping that you don't have to give up your underwear. Well, you're not playing strip poker unless you have to give up your underwear"/Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Have you ever played strip poker?
