      <![CDATA[It sounds like a double standard. Taxpayers paid for Puerto Rican displacement, which today's Lincoln Parkers benefit from in their deluxe homes. Taxpayers paid for the once neglected zoo and conservatory. The park is not a museum, so let the kids play soccer there.

      <![CDATA[Ben is incorrect:  The Park District is not paying Latin's legal fees.
    
    Also:  the city of Chicago, which was indeed a defendant in this case, did not hire a high-priced outside lawyer, to my knowledge.  (The Park District did hire outside lawyers.)
    
    Given those two corrections to Ben's post, his assertion that, "When all's said and done, the lawyers may end up costing taxpayers more than the field" is very far off the mark.
    
    Total legal fees for the city will probably be in the range of $300k.  The construction of the field will approach $2 million.

    There are Latin School Parents and grads opposed to the deal.
    
    The Park district already will cost taxpayers a lot more than the legal fees incurred because the Park District played as if there were no rules.
