“After failing to institute hikes on soda and cigarettes, Philadelphia officials have reportedly slipped a lap dance tax under the radar. Attorney George Bochetto, who represents Club Risque and Cheerleaders, said the move is ‘financial desperation’ and part of an effort by the city to tax the same thing twice. According to appeal petitions, Cheerleaders owes $486,482 and Club Risque owes $320,538. The city audited the lap dance encounters then ‘issued an assessment going back five years,’ Bochetto said, plus interest and penalties. ‘It’s over the top,’ he told the newspaper. ‘Unbelievable.'”
