Court Rules that the City of Chicago Violated the Constitution. Judge Orders New Public Hearing on Pilsen TIF.
We get a second chance! Everyone must attend the Save the Pilsen Community Rally and Benefit and also attend the New Public Hearings. A translator will be provided by the City. The City of Chicago gave us such short notice (11 days) for the next hearing on the Pilsen TIF, but intense efforts are being made to organize the community.
