There's no violation there.
And just keep in mind, we're talking about a hotel tax.
That tax already exists.
Our proposal does not create new taxes.
And again, if you talk to the average Chicagoan, do they come on the radio and say, you know what?
Boy, if the city of Chicago would just work on that hotel tax.
No one brings that up.
They talk about property taxes.
$4 billion conservatively is $1.5 billion.
That property tax...
homeowners would be on the hook to build a privately owned stadium.
Keep in mind, whatever tax that we do use, which right now is just a hotel tax, it's a stadium that the public owns.
So, where else do you see, with economic development, where the corporation puts in 72%
of the finances to lease a building that the public would own, that essentially visitors who come and visit our city, and with good reason.
We've made some amazing investments in Chicago.
A lot of work to be done.
But again, Joe Mansueto, it's working there.
And Lincoln Yards, we're building homes there at Foundry Park.
The 1901 project, the brand new hospital that we're going to have on the south side of Chicago, the first time in 100 years.
That's a billion-dollar investment.
