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.

Tax Increment Financing is supposed to help struggling neighborhoods—but under Alderman Joe Moore, TIF funds in Rogers Park often seem to bypass the community entirely.
Big developers get funding. Well-connected businesses get breaks. Meanwhile, residents wait for basic improvements that never come.
Public money should serve the public good—not private gain.
We need transparency, not secrecy. We need investment in people—not just properties.

Alderman Joe Moore oversees millions in TIF funds meant to uplift Rogers Park. Yet, too often, these funds benefit developers and businesses—not the residents struggling with basic needs.
Without transparency, it’s impossible to trust that our community’s best interests come first.
We demand clear, fair, and accountable spending of our public dollars.

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.
