Lincoln Elementary charges $600.00+ dollars for students to participate in the band. The money goes directly to paying for the band teacher. Daley has given the shaft to the kids of this city. He’ll gladly take TIF money to divvy up with his cronies, but when it comes to the kids they don’t have deep enough pockets for him. Lincoln Park real estate is inflated and the property taxes that should be used for the local school system end up in pork projects everywhere else. Instead of subsidizing developers why not try subsidizing the future . . . the kids.

It is great to see people actually DOING something about a state of affairs which nearly everyone agrees is fuct on every level, as opposed to just complaining from the comfort of the sidelines (like most of us do–myself included).
