Agreed to let them have no sales tax for (IIRC) 20 years. This is killing us as it didnt' bring in a huge number of jobs, but it did take a lot of valuable property downtown out of the tax base. Of course the Mayors buddies who owned the property made out like bandits, but that must just be a coincidence.

Maybe they had something special to offer.

Or perhaps it was the windy blow.

Better still, the yummy pizza,

That many feel too rich in dough.

Illinois, the Land of Lincoln,

Endless towers, toddlin' town

Safeguard always thy renown.
