Billionaire Subsidy Passed, BTW it's just TIF Money
Finance Committee approves $425M subsidy for site that includes Fire stadium
Political pushback preceded a pair of lopsided votes for bankrolling infrastructure for a South Loop project led by billionaire team owner Joe Mansueto. Some questioned using TIF dollars to build a parking garage.

The 78 development site, a stretch land south of Roosevelt Road and west of Clark Street in the South Loop, got the green light from a City Council committee for $425 million to subsidize public infrastructure.
Despite myriad concerns, a City Council committee Monday overwhelmingly approved a $425 million tax increment financing subsidy to bankroll the public improvements needed to support a South Loop development anchored by a new soccer stadium privately financed by the Chicago Fire.

Suspicious death, hours after returning from Ukraine. Time-released poison?
Midget Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, a man that would gladly have your children march on Iran and Russia, Dead at 71
Mr. Graham died of a “brief and sudden” illness on Saturday evening, his office said. Over more than two decades in the Senate, he consistently pushed for the use of U.S. military power overseas.

Never saw a war he didn't like.
UPDATE: Circumstances strongly suggest that he was murdered. Russians did it?

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. - The suspect who shot an Indiana State Police trooper during a car chase Friday morning has been found dead, authorities said.
What we know:
The shooting happened near a Speedway gas station at 2884 U.S. 421 in Michigan City.
Indiana State Police said the chase began around 5:30 a.m. when officers in Berrien County, Michigan, tried to stop a stolen silver Ford F-150. The suspect crossed into Indiana and got away.
A short time later, an Indiana State Police trooper found the truck on Interstate 94 and began chasing it before the two vehicles collided on U.S. 421.

That, my friends, is inflation. The company cited the rising cost of memory for the need to bump up prices. Effectively passing along the cost increase to consumers.
