Proposed changes to the city of Albany's zoning laws could bring an annual fee of $300 - $900 to coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and other venues that host live, amplified entertainment. This includes everything from live music and open-mic nights, to comedy shows and trivia games.

Opponents of the bill have started an online petition, which currently has more than 1,600 signatures. The bill's opponents include musicians, performers, and business owners, who all agree that this will be a big step in the wrong direction for the local live entertainment scene.
