The Steans foundation supports the TIF because “our community needs an investment tool.” In this way, it joins community groups and social service organizations across the city that look the other way as the sham continues because they’ve been told there’s no other option. Certainly the folks at the Steans foundation should know better: board member Heather Steans, whose father started the nonprofit, called for greater transparency in TIF deals during her recent successful primary campaign for state senate. (Steans didn’t attend the CDC meeting or return calls for comment.)Source.
Blognotes: Gosh, don't all you people feel foolish believing Heather Steans' and her TIF transparency malarkey? It's not like you weren't warned.

It's a shame so many people blindly vote for unqualified candidates who will say anything to get elected.
Has anyone heard from the new senator? Or is she AWOL?
She's in Ohio, campaigning for Obama. Yeah, that's what the voters wanted her to do--work in another state. Geesh . . .
Hey, this is what the people wanted isn't it?
Yeah, you're probably right. I overestimate the intelligence and appraisal skills of people far too often. Still, if someone works that hard to become my Senator, I sort of hope she'd actually continue working hard BEING my Senator, not a campaign tool for Obama (or Blago or Carol or Jan or . . . ). It just confirms my fear---that voters were never first and foremost in her mind. Even this early, this looks like a social thing for her, status, political glam. Rather than be a rising star, she's riding the tails of yet another.
Then you should really be pissed at Obama since thats all he does is campaign he surely isn't working as our IL Senator, same with Clinton, NY Senator and oh yea, John McCain, Arizona Senator
I am. I'm pissed that he's been a no-show Senator during the campaign. I'm pissed that he's gotten a pass on the Resko debacle. And I'm pissed that our next President may owe an impossibly large debt of gratitude to the mire and corruption that is Emil Jones & Co.
