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.
