@ReporterHal They are definitely different. But this is not $55M on $7B, it’s $55M on the $500M first phase and the mayor says he’d consider further breaks for the next phases.

Comparing this tax break - $55M on. $7B investment to the billion dollar tax breaks in the Megaprojects bill, ain’t working: City Council OKs $55 million tax break for 1901 Project - Crain's Chicago Business chicagobusiness.com/politics-polic…

@Nickoval18 @chicagobars Fair enough. And a certain Cook County board of review commissioner has repeatedly sued the county. They should form a club.

@ReporterHal @chicagobars Trump sued the IRS.
