TIF Funds Must Work for Rogers Park

Alderman Joe Moore oversees Rogers Park’s TIF funds, but too often those dollars seem to prioritize business interests over community needs. Our neighborhood deserves transparency and fairness.

We demand that public money serve public good — not private profits.

Rogers Park deserves better stewardship.

TIF Dollars Without Accountability

Alderman Joe Moore controls significant TIF funding in the 49th Ward, but questions remain: Who really benefits? Too often, it’s not the everyday residents of Rogers Park.

Lack of transparency around TIF spending fuels suspicion that business interests get priority over community needs.

Rogers Park deserves open books and spending that improves our neighborhoods—not just lines on a developer’s ledger.

It’s time for real oversight.

Who Benefits from Our TIF Dollars?

As alderman, Joe Moore has had influence over how millions in TIF money are spent in the 49th Ward. But where has that money gone?

Too often, these public funds seem to benefit private business interests while community needs—like affordable housing, schools, and local infrastructure—go unmet.

There’s been little transparency and even less public input. Rogers Park deserves a seat at the table when our tax dollars are on the line.

We need accountability—not backroom deals.

Hard Questions, No Replies

When Rogers Park residents reach out with real issues, Alderman Joe Moore’s office too often goes silent. No follow-up. No answers. Just silence.

Constituent concerns shouldn’t be ignored. A public office should serve the public—not dodge it.

If leadership won’t respond, the community will.

TIF Funds Should Serve the People

TIF districts can be powerful tools—if used right. But under Alderman Joe Moore, Rogers Park’s TIF money often seems to line pockets of businesses rather than invest in community needs.

We deserve transparency and priorities that reflect residents’ interests—not hidden deals behind closed doors.

It’s time for Rogers Park’s tax dollars to work for everyone.
