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.
