CLINTON, La., April 10 (UPI) -- A professional landscaper in Louisiana who suffers from painful heat rash said he was denied a request to wear a short skirt because it's against the law.
Jay Herrod's request was turned down after he explained his situation to the Clinton Board of Aldermen at a town meeting Wednesday, WAFB-TV, Baton Rouge, reported.
"It's very painful. It's easy for somebody to point their finger at me and judge me, but honestly, if you went through what I went through, you would do it too," Herrod said.
Herrod reportedly can often be seen in the summer wearing a small green skirt while mowing lawns around town. He says the short skirt lessens his pain, which is worsened by sweat build-up.
Officials said Herrod's short skirt goes against a city law barring anyone from sagging their pants or exposing themselves. The board told Herrod they would reconsider his request when he could provide a doctor's note.
