    Coward Orr, opps I meant to write David Bore, opps I MEAN David Orr has not completely gone along with Daley. He fought the good fight ( and won) to make sure his picture hung in city hall along with all the Mayors of Chicago so that we would never forget that He was mayor for a day when Harold Washington left us

      <![CDATA["There has to be more transparency in the TIF program," says Orr. "There has to be more ability for the public to understand how the money is spent in individual TIF districts. Look, I supported a TIF district years ago when I was alderman [of the 49th ward]. But that was a poor area that couldn't get private capital. TIFs are everywhere now, including high-class areas in Chicago. There has to be more accountability."
    
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
    
    That was a poor area, all right! Especially after 8 years of you as alderdunce, and continued to worsen under your protege, JoMo.
    
    Richard above is spot on. This supposed "progressive" is anything but. 
    What a laugh! 
    I propose a new kind of TIF in which we vote out the "blighted" politicians!

      <![CDATA[Steve(Greg Goldsner),
    
      Go spin it on the 5th floor. How do you explain $8.1 million dollars a year to maintain a Park that your Mayor and his friends claimed would not cost the taxpayers a dime? Also PARK GRILL in Milliondollar Park, is a insult to all taxpayers and better government groups. The taxpayers make nothing from this boondoggle for Joyce and the boys!   Now lets walk over to MIEGS FIELD.....

      <![CDATA[Just to clarify, the slowdown in revenue is not due to the economy. The 2006 revenue were up because that year was a citywide reassessment year where all property was re-valued.  Its actually kinda of surprising the revenue went up as much as it did in 2007 when most properties values didn't change.
