Ward 49 of the City of Chicago includes most of Rogers Park and parts of West Ridge.
Tax Increment Financing funds are meant to revitalize communities. But under Alderman Joe Moore, Rogers Park’s TIF money often prioritizes business interests over pressing neighborhood needs.
Transparency is lacking, and residents are left out of decisions affecting their own community.
We deserve fair use of our tax dollars and leadership that puts people first.

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.

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.

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.
