The cash is in the TIFs ...

I really would not worry about this ever ending up raising taxes one little bit. Really.

I'm sure you don't. Your sole purpose on this board appears to be to post links to negative news stories relating to Chicago.

For me, the jury is out, I have no idea.

I wish people would stop talking about the corruption in chicago political machine and do something about it. If its that bad, vote for another Mayor, Councilmen, etc. People *****, but offer no serious alternative platform on how to manage the US' third largest city. Give me a break. You should want the Olympics to come to Chicago to help garner invesment in the city and create jobs. Stop being so stingy and realize that the pros outweigh the cons.

Why do we put every random (always negative!) news article in here?

We all see the news online.....

We've all asked this before and get no answer...
