In response to what she sees as an \u201carbitrary\u201d decision that has left legal sex workers \u201cfinancially devastated,\u201d\u00a0Alice Little<\/a>, an employee at the Moonlite BunnyRanch in Mound House, Nev., who\u2019s considered the top-earning legal sex worker in the U.S., filed a\u00a0complaint and motion for a preliminary injunction<\/a>\u00a0against Nevada\u2019s Gov. Steve Sisolak in the Third Judicial District Court in Lyon County.
