Listen to this in-depth interview with Jim Vail, publisher of Second City Teachers, which covers all things Chicago public education and the Teacher’s Union (1 hour). Thanks, Jim! Here is my analysis of two major TIF studies (from Loyola University and the University of Illinois Chicago). Free registration is required to access content on the TIF Illumination Project website.
I’ll be lighting up the TIFs of Maywood, Illinois on Saturday, October 24, 2026 at the Maywood Park District, 921 9th Avenue at 2pm. This Illumination is sponsored by Concerned Citizens of the Village of Maywood. And they SHOULD be concerned because it appears that the mayor wants to turn the entire village in a giant TIF! It will be my 236th TIF Illumination – egads! Let us know you are coming.
The 100K Project (http://www.100kproject.us) is all about artists and creative workers using their creative superpowers to organize for power, to run for local office (or help someone to run) in order to govern for the common good.
