The [Tuesday] Papers"At an administrative hearing Monday morning, a Cook County official doubled down on a controversial position that the Reader first reported on last week: she explained to attorneys for two Chicago venues that live performances of rock, country, rap, and electronic music do not constitute 'music' or 'culture' by the county's standards," the Reader reports. "This is more than a cultural debate, though, because these definitions affect which small Chicago venues are entitled to an exemption from the county's 3 percent amusement tax on cover and ticket charges. Anita Richardson, a hearing officer appointed by the county's Department of Administrative Hearings, seemed to be arguing this morning that only small venues that book chamber orchestras, symphony orchestras, or operas should be entitled to the tax break - those relying instead on 'rap music, country music, and rock 'n' roll' in addition to electronic music and DJ performances should have to pay. "Rap music, country music, and rock 'n' roll" do not fall under the purview of "fine art," she explained.
