Alderman Joe Moore Political / Campaign Contribution Information

Since my recent article Better Government Association report on Tawani Enterprises Incorporated on Rogers Park in 1,000 Words, I got a lot of feedback including requests for a complete list of Alderman Joe Moore's Political / Campaign Contributions.

source: Better Government Association report on Tawani Enterprises Incorporated: http://www.rp1000.blogspot.com/2013/10/better-government-association-report-on.html

"Sheet 1" is all contributions to date going back to 1999. "Sheet 2" is all Pritzker related contributions to Alderman Joe Moore.

Sheet 2 is unique because it extracts those Pritzker related companies which are not obvious on the Illinois Board of Elections site. I know these corporations/llcs and organizations are associated with Jennifer Pritzker/Tawani Enterprises/Rogers Park Solutions llc/Rogers Park Vintage Management etc due to my gathering of data through the Secretary of State's office for earlier article here: http://www.rp1000.blogspot.com/2013/10/better-government-association-report-on.html

All of this data is available for download for any candidate on the Illinois Board of Elections site, so I should note that this is where the following information is from.

A companion to this report is the Campaign Financing Ordinance that was in effect through October 31, 2012. You can download/review this .pdf here: http://www.cityofchicago.org/content/dam/city/depts/ethics/general/Ordinances/CFO2010.pdf

An additional resource includes an overview of the City's prohibitions and limitations regarding political contributions. This is available on the City of Chicago site here: http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/ethics/supp_info/camp_contributors.html

Ignorance, Complacency and Greed

I was speaking with a new resident of Rogers Park this morning about a local organization that has been looking to expand their workspace for a long time now.

This organization is currently located in a beautiful 1900's bungalow that has become a staple of our neighborhood. A few years ago, this organization considered selling to a local slum lord/"developer". Our community fought tooth and nail to preserve our local landmark to the end of saving a portion of the character of Rogers Park.

Our new resident did not understand the consequences of the organizations actions in dealing with this particular DEVILeper.

Politics in this Ward are never pretty, and foresight is rarely utilized in the best interest of our community. As I was explaining the history of Rogers Park, such as the demolition of the Adelphi Theater in exchange for a campaign contribution, the Howard Theater gutted to house gang leaders, the grand chandeliers crashing during the demolition of the Norshore Theater on Howard Street, the promise of saving the facade of the Granada Theater before destroying the entire building on Sheridan Road near Devon Avenue... I came to realize, that the problems in Rogers Park and the 49th Ward are rooted in Ignorance, Complacency and Greed.

In the best interest of our community, I challenge you to break this pattern of destruction and demolition of Rogers Park as residents, voters and conscious beings.

... And as the town begged Joe Politician for a Million Dollars, the sky got darker, and the fog became heavier.

If you want change, Don't vote for Incumbents.

The incumbent, in politics, is the current holder of a political office. This term is usually used in reference to elections, in which races can often be defined as being between an incumbent and non-incumbent. For example, in the 2004 United States presidential election, George W. Bush was the incumbent, because he was the president in the current term while the election sought to determine the president for the following term.
