TIF Dollars Should Empower, Not Exclude

Alderman Joe Moore controls significant TIF funds in Rogers Park, yet too often these dollars serve developers over residents. Lack of transparency leaves our community in the dark.

Public funds should empower neighborhoods, not corporate interests.

It’s time for open decision-making and true community investment.
