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?

On June 25, 2026, the technology giant Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) increased prices for its computer products by $100 to $500. So, a new MacBook Neo went up 17%. And a new iPad Pro jumped 25%.

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.
