In 2014, Chicago's 150 Tax Increment Financing districts extracted $426 million in property taxes. At the end of 2012 there was $1.4 billion left in TIF accounts. The Mayor has closed schools, cut back mass transit service, closed public health clinics and is poised to privatize Midway Airport. We can't be broke if we are stockpiling property taxes in order to give them to such major corporations as Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, United Airlines, Coca Cola, UPS, Wilis Insurance, Home Depot and The Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Empty the TIF bank accounts and send that money to the units of local government (Chicago Public Schools, Chicago park District, etc.) that SHOULD HAVE received those property tax dollars in the first place. NO PROPERTY TAX INCREASE UNTIL TIFs HAVE BEEN FROZEN AND AUDITED. RELEASE THE TIF FUNDS BEING HELD IN ALL TIF ACCOUNTS.

Trayvon is dead, no matter how his character was, he was still a child that acted out as any normal teenager going through puberty ( like ME). The person responsible for his death needs to take the consequences for his actions of taking Trayvons life. Dont be a coward now!...Zimmerman is a racist looking for trouble, check back in the past of all his call ins, about black young boys hanging outside. He is sad......if i run a light i get a ticket...if u are in security, there are many places in the body that u can shoot & not kill. (Its a sin to kill- so,do whats right in Gods eyes!)

My grandson Terry has been in the Georgia's prison since 2004 for being in a car with someone who committed a crime. Sentenced to 25 years, no murder involved, I feel the crime does not match the time. It's time to free Terry!

The Department of Justice continues its lynching of this man

Save our young black men and all young men. Let's give them more hope that our Justice system can do the Right thing.

Our children are under attack by adult strangers who feel safe stalking children because there is no law against it. We need a Trayvon Martin law that would make it a federal offense for an adult stranger to stalk a child under 18 years of age. Only adult people the child is familiar with—parents, law enforcement, teachers, relatives, and people with official business or parental permission—should be able to legally pursue a child. 1. If a stranger frightens a child to the point that they run away or hide, the stranger should have to retreat. 2. A stranger with a concealed weapon should never be able to follow a child 3. A strange that follows a child and the child attempts to defend themselves, the stranger cannot plead self-defense Nuestros niños son acechados por adultos desconocidos que se sienten seguros acechar niños porque no existe una ley en su contra. Necesitamos una ley Trayvon Martin que haga que sea un Delito Federal que un adulto desconocido aceche a un niño menor de 18 años de edad. Solamente personas adultos que el niño conoce - Padres, cuerpos policiales, maestros, parientes y personas con asuntos oficiales o con permiso de padres - podrían legalmente perseguir a un niño. 1. Si un desconocido asusta al niño hasta el punto de hacerlo correr o esconderse, el desconocido tendrá que alejarse. 2. Un desconocido con un arma oculta, no debe en ningún momento seguir a un niño 3. Un desconocido que persigue a un niño y luego el niño intenta de defenderse, el desconocido no puede declarar la defensa propia.

At stake: our water, our land, our air

My family was targeted for a creative eviction because The John Stewart Company didn't want to add me to my wife's lease after fulfilling the requirements.

This petition is in response to Florida’s Racist Justice System! Until ALL of our demands are met, it is our full intention to prevent as much tourism dollars as possible from ever reaching the State of Florida. This will be a protracted struggle and we the undersigned are fully committed for life.

Corey's politically motivated prosecution of George Zimmerman and failure to take the case to a Grand Jury before proceeding, has cost tax payers of Florida a great deal of money and the extreme likelihood of more to come. She should be fired immediately and prosecuted for damages

Fracking contaminates water all over the USA. We do not need this in Florida ever. La facturación hidráulica contamina el agua por todo el EE.UU. Nunca necesitamos esto en Florida.

My name is Darrell Williams and my 11 year old nephew, Jeffrey L Williams was killed by Carbon Monoxide leak in a Best Western Plus, Boone, NC hotel on June 8th. In the same room where he was killed, two other adults lost their life to Carbon Monoxide two months prior, and still no CO detector. A Carbon Monoxide detector would have saved his life, and it would have cost the hotel about $40 to install. Please sign and forward this to everyone in your contact list
