No Tax Money for Bears!
Look!!! Over there!!! The Bears want taxpayer money for infrastructure improvements while they build a stadium with their own money that will be an economic powerhouse wherever they land!
When the Obama Presidential Center opens next month, and its funders are honored and congratulated, there are two major financial contributors worthy of a bow or two: Chicago and Illinois taxpayers.
The Chicago Department of Transportation said it has spent $123.3 million since 2022 on capital projects aimed at remaking the roadways and green space in Jackson Park and around the center.
And there’s still more work to be done. The final public infrastructure costs are likely to approach $200 million.
The costs are not part of the presidential center’s privately-funded $850 million price tag.
Wait, what?
Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm."
The Center isn't open yet, but the Grift Gift Shop is. You can buy Sparklefart souvenirs, some cheap bling, a $400 wind powered generator kit, and:
- You can even buy a copy of (Saul Alinsky's) Rules for Radicals – The book liberals denied had any connection to Obama or his policies.
You can get it for half the price over on Amazon though.
