TIF'd Off?


A reader sends in this notice of a meeting on TIF abuse and reform:

The Independent Illinois Voters Association is hosting a community meeting on TIF Reform this coming Monday, November 24.

If you're not TIF-ed off, you should be. In the middle of this economic crisis, Cook County TIFs are quietly sucking $900 million out of the general revenue funds and putting them into the Mayor's and Aldermen's private slush funds.

Citizens are finally waking up and demanding TIF Reform. Jump on the TIF bandwagon and learn more.
