TIF Money: Who’s Getting Served?

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.

Silence Isn’t Service

TIF Funds, But Not for Us

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.

Without transparency, it’s impossible to trust that our community’s best interests come first.
