There's a deeper issue. Berks county is fucking awful in general, and I've lived and worked there off and on for a lot of my life. Hyper conservative fiscally and socially. The county would rather worry about issues that effect "morality " and remaining true to the conservative majority than address the rampant poverty in reading and surrounding areas. It's frankly a cesspool. Don't believe me, take a drive through reading. Sadly, their idea of helping is to shut down Amps in the name of decency than actually effect change by helping the poor and huge minority populations.
