      <![CDATA[Having negotiated a number of tax increment funded projects for cities, I would hope that the City of Chicago promissory note, and secured a loan for $9 million with the property owner.  In any case the City should find a way to take over the company and turn it over to the workers.  They know how to make the products and can run it for less than the thieving owner and lender.

      <![CDATA[The only correct choice is not make one in the first place.
    
    Creating the TIF was a poor choice.  The choices available after the fact will only further restrict the flow of capital.
    
    If Republic Windows & Doors wishes to hang themselves, why would Chicago property owners pay for the rope?
    
    Is our government trying to inflate the Communist's hot air balloon?  These bailouts and subsidies have little effect on the sustainability of any of these commercial organizations.  No amount of tax revenue subsidy can keep these jobs here.  But a reduction in taxes, the amending of regulation, and relaxing of environmental standards will keep them here.

      <![CDATA[Most of those beaners took jobs from real Americans, so fuck 'em.
    
    Plus, Republic makes really shitty windows.  Good for Mexico, but not for American homes.
    
    With the housing market in shambles, it goes to figure that businesses that are tied to housing would be in trouble.  No houses built or sold means no windows in houses.  Duh.....
    
    Besides, anything that involves Jesse Jackson is looked at with suspicion.

      <![CDATA[Another thought for TIF reform - any company receiving TIF money should have to commit to stay in the district for the life of the TIF or repay the subsidy.
    
    What's most outrageous about the plant shut-down is that the owners are not going out of business.  They are moving their business to Iowa, but under a new name. They may also be illegally moving plant equipment and other assets to the new plant. Attorney General Lisa Madigan is investigating and hopefully her office will be able to prevent these scum-bag owners from converting company assets for their own use rather than to pay off their obligations to employees and creditors.
