On June 3, Alderman Eugene Schulter (47th Ward) and other members of the City Council’s Licensing and Consumer Protection Committee held a meeting with representatives of both the City of Chicago and the Chicago entertainment community. They discussed the proposed event promoter ordinance. MORE from the Chicago Music Commission web site... In the meantime, writes the CMC, "Ald. Schulter made it clear...that 'there is no schedule' yet for the ordinance to move from the Licensing Committee to the City Council for a vote.
