Court Rules that the TIF Investment Committee is a Public Body under the Open Meetings Act

A win for transparency and accountability!

The Cook County Circuit Court has ruled that the TIF Investment Committee is a public body under the Open Meetings Act — and violated the law by failing to provide proper notice, agendas, and public access to meetings.

This decision, stemming from our lawsuit with Loevy & Loevy, ensures Chicagoans have the right to know how public resources are managed and to advocate for investments that serve their communities.

This ruling is a step forward in addressing the historic inequities in TIF funding. Thanks, Crain's for covering this important issue!
