I am happy for Ben when I read Mark Brown gave him his props for all the research he did for TIFs. Good things take forever in Chicago. Ben is an asset to Chicago. I hope Ben will join us in our Whistle-blowing in the Rain-blocker Program. We are moving forward to expose corruption in Chicago. Chicago Clout.

The Whistle-Blowing ordinance was sponsored by Alderman Burk and myself. If your interested in filing for it, just go to your area McDonalds and order a happy meal! In your case , McDuckin, go to the one in DesPlaines.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. Most whistle blowers, get fired and never come back. Even the Supreme court,won't protect a snitch. Nobody like a squealer,just ask COCOHEAD.and Mcdonough Chidren shouldn't be at Navy Pier. Glambing and children don't mix.

11th man, You are smart not using your name. Otherwise, Cocohead would find you and kick your inbred ass! By the the way, ben J., you were great on WLS !

the Sun Times's enlightenment is long overdue, I'm just wondering when those alleged "free market" champions at the Tribune will wake up and smell the coffee. If Kass can devote as much time to TIFs as he does to beer-can-stuffed-chickens we'll make some progress.

You want to give Ben control of the TIF funds? Brilliant idea.

Orion + lack of reasoning why these TIF stories are bad + slavish devotion to Daley = Same tired old crap

At least one of the Bens is an asset to Chicago.
