      <![CDATA[Fuzzy math alert. It's not $60 million per year, it's the opportunity cost (if running a surplus) or borrowing cost (if running a deficit).<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.investor.gov/tools/calculators/compound-interest-calculator" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.investor.gov/tools/calculators/&hellip;</a><br>
<br>
It's pretty obvious to everyone where Chicago has been on that surplus/deficit thing for the past 30 years, and that's without even factoring in the unfunded pension contributions to municipal employees.<br>
<br>
"That's over 30 years, which comes out to just under $60 million per year.

      <![CDATA[Ben's reporting notes that TIFs are siphoned out of Chicago property taxes, and the City of Chicago then raises its levy/tax rate to make up the difference. <br>
<br>
Meaning it is Chicago property owners who are both stuck funding TIF corporate welfare, as well as Chicago public schools.<br>
<br>
How exactly are downstate Illinoisans financially supporting Chicago Public Schools?

<br>
she packed all her loads from my house..i ran mad and i tried all i could to have her back but all did not work out..i was lonely for almost 4 years…So when<br>
<br>
i told the spell caster what happened he said he will help me and he asked for her full name and her picture..i gave him that..At first i was skeptical but i<br>
<br>
gave it a try cos h ave tried so many spell casters and there is no solution…so when he finished with the readings,he got back to me that she’s with a man<br>
<br>
and that man is the reason why she left me…The spell caster said he will help me with a spell that will surely bring her back.but i never believe all this…he<br>
<br>
told me i will see a positive result within 3 days..3 days later,she called me herself and came to me apologizing and she told me she will come back to me..I<br>
<br>
cant believe this,it was like a dream cos i never believe this will work out after trying many spell casters and there is no solution..The spell caster is so<br>
<br>
powerful and after that he helped me with a pregnancy spell and my wife got pregnant a month later..we are now happy been together again and with lovely<br>
<br>
kid..This spell caster has really changed my life and i will forever thankful to him..he has helped many friends too with similar problem too and they are<br>
<br>
happy and thankful to him..This man is indeed the most powerful spell caster have ever experienced in life..Am Posting this to the Forum in case there is<br>
