Reaction to the ordinance
"... will pretty much drop a bomb on Chicago's independent music community, if not nuke it entirely."
- Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun-Times
"... it doesn't meet any public need and is very ill-suited to Chicago's independent music community - as written, it is unconstitutional."
- Henry H. Perritt, Jr., Professor of Law, Chicago-Kent College of Law
"I cannot imagine a major metropolitan city, a world class city with the stature of Chicago having an ordinance like this on the books. It's frankly embarrassing ..."
Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune
"this really has a chilling effect..."
Shawn Campbell, CHIRP [Chicago Independent Radio Project]
"The ordinance will reduce the amount of music in Chicago, make events more expensive for consumers, dampen the large and growing economic engine that is Chicago music, and create a much less supportive business climate for Chicago's small music business community."
- The Chicago Music Commission
