It explicitly enables local governments to raise  their property tax levies based on the untaxed value of the mega projects,” Costin said.

They need to stop calling anything from Springfield a new revenue source, regardless of all the excuses it’s a TAX INCREASE. Corporations just don’t eat new taxes they pass it down to the consumers.

In a metropolitan area of 9 million, only 62,500 go to Soldier Field to attend a Bears game. Why is where they play so important?

Of course it will raise taxes. Only Illinois voters have the mentality to think it wont.
