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.

A Ward Without a Voice

When residents reach out to Alderman Joe Moore’s office, they’re too often met with silence. Questions ignored. Complaints unanswered. Problems unresolved.

An elected official’s first job is to listen. If you won’t even pick up the phone, you’re not doing the job.

Rogers Park deserves representation that actually responds.

Rogers Park Can’t Get a Call Back

Basic questions. Urgent issues. Repeated follow-ups. And still—no response from Alderman Joe Moore’s office.

Rogers Park residents deserve better than being ignored. If you can’t return a call, how can you lead a ward?

This isn’t just bad service—it’s bad leadership.

Moore’s Office: Where Are the Answers?

Too many Rogers Park residents find it difficult to get a timely response from Alderman Joe Moore’s office. Important concerns often fall through the cracks.

An elected official’s office should be a resource—not a roadblock. Our community deserves better communication and accountability.

From now on, responsiveness isn’t optional.

Who Is Joe Moore Listening To?

Because it’s not Rogers Park.

Residents call. They email. They stop by. And too often, they leave without answers. Alderman Joe Moore’s office has become known for inaction and inaccessibility.

Serving the public means being reachable. That’s not happening—and our community is paying the price.

Getting Through Shouldn’t Be This Hard

When residents have to chase down their alderman’s office just to be heard, something is wrong. Joe Moore’s office has become known for being hard to reach and slow to respond.

Constituent service is the bare minimum. If you can’t answer your community, you’re not representing it.

Rogers Park deserves better.
