First They Came for the Foot Masseuses

Virginia Postrel found this article on the State of California’s bizarre campaign to crack down on…foot masseuses:

The popularity of foot massage has risen as cutthroat competition has sent prices downward. But now, business owners are dealing with a new problem: a crackdown by county and state officials who have ruled that they need licenses from the state Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.

Shouldn’t the “but now” be replaced with “as a result”?
