Council panel approves agreement with Obama Foundation over use of Jackson Park

A City Council committee took the first step Thursday toward approving legislation that outlines how the Obama Foundation can use Jackson Park and the Obama Presidential Center once it is built.

And for the first time, the committee revealed language in the legislation that seeks to protect current homeowners and residents who live closest to the selected site. As part of their agreement, which the panel approved unanimously, the city will monitor property values and other indicators of demographic changes near the center site. If there are dramatic changes, the city will implement measures to keep residents in their homes, City Planning Commissioner David Reifman told the gathering.

The ordinance, though, does not specify what those measures would be. It left some residents who have pushed for a signed community benefits agreement, which the Obama Foundation has resisted, unsatisfied.

“One of the reasons a community benefits agreement was asked for was to sustain the promises,” said Jackie Page, who spoke at Thursday’s meeting. “One of the reasons for a community benefits agreement is for the little guy to be looked out for.”

She said that without a signed contract guaranteeing protections for residents, she worries the current makeup of the neighborhoods will change. “You don’t want to put it on paper? There’s something wrong with that,” she said during public testimony.

Jackie, you're about to get hosed by the grand poobah of 'community organizers' and his minions. Don't forget - hope and change.

Of course, they should have just voided the whole thing.

“You didn’t build that, somebody else helped you” Obama can’t even build his library without confiscating public park land. His legacy of personal failure continues.

The tax-exempt Obama Foundation financing his “Presidential Center” has decided to mask the identities of its mega-donors.

As president Obama lay awake night, plotting the giveaways, billions of your tax to oil-rich Third World African countries....knowing it was coming back to him.

CASE IN POINT: Obama’s $1.3B giveaway to Iran was paid in cash Jan 22 and Feb 5 from a little-known fund administered by the US Treasury.
The so-called Judgment Fund is made up of tax dollars Congress has permanently approved in the event it’s needed....

SOURCE: fiscaltreasury.gov

The Judgment Fund was established to pay court judgments and Justice Department compromise settlements of actual or imminent lawsuits against the government. It is administered by the Judgment Fund Section, which is a part of the United States Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service. The Judgment Fund Internet Claims System (JFICS) is the application used to process all Judgment Fund claims.

The Judgment Fund is a permanent, indefinite appropriation available to pay judicially and administratively ordered monetary awards against the United States. The Judgment Fund is also available to pay amounts owed under compromise agreements negotiated by the U.S. Department of Justice in settlement of claims arising under actual or imminent litigation, if a judgment on the merits would be payable from the Judgment Fund. The statutory authority for the Judgment Fund is 31 U.S.C. 1304. —snip—

Amounts paid vary significantly from year-to-year. Federal agencies are not required to reimburse the Judgment Fund except when cases are filed under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) or the No FEAR Act (Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act).

UT-OH——J.Ansari Zarif, the Iranian deputy for parliamentary and Iranian affairs within Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said he would expose “everyone who allegedly accepted bribes” to facilitate Obama’s nuke deal with Iran. “... we will reveal which western politicians received monies during nuclear negotiations to make #IranDeal happen,” Mr. Zarif reportedly said.

Looks like Obama and his crowd got filthy rich on this deal. In case you wondered how the Halfrican intended to pay for his billion dollar “presidential center.”
Obama said no federal funds will be used......just tax dollars with an Iranian postmark.

Then-F/L Michele, her mother and daughters in the Moroccan palace.

Look at that smile----Obama gave her $100 million tax dollars----"to teach Muslim girls in Morocco."

AND GET THIS: The $100 mill is to be held by the Obama Foundation, to be doled out when necessary (cue laugh machine here).

==========================================

NOTE WELL: The $100 million "for Muslim girls" came out of the Millenium Challenge Fund at the State Dept----Hillary's fave slush fund.

=========================================

ACTION NOW: Demand the books be opened-----taxpayers demand to know where the Millenium funds are going.

Obama and wife have a nice little retirement sceme going. Like the Clintons, ..you'll see them forever on the road lecturing, etc. in never-ending efforts to stay relevant and powerful.....and keep the sucker money coming in to their tax-exempt foundation.

And 40 klicks NW, I will be paying for it one way or another.

If you like your nice neighborhood, you can keep your nice neighborhood.

They used our tax dollars to promote issues and things we do not and would never agree too, criminal

[trebb]

Here’s hoping it turns out to be another SF slum with drunks and druggies and other unsavory folks shooting up and dropping their needles among the feces....

[shanover]

Democrat “foundations” are money laundering schemes and there is nothing that will be done about it.

[M1903A1]

It already is. The greater Jackson Park region (in this case, the Woodlawn neighborhood) has been a slum for the last 50+ years.
