Tom was bought to Orland Park on October 30, 2024 for his 245th public meeting to Illuminate the TIF situation there. There is one TIF operating and the mayor is pushing for three new TIFs. Read the coverage from local reporter Ray Hanania (with links to video of the entire session, plus the slide deck). Here is coverage from the Daily Southtown.

This was the most bizarre TIF situation I have ever encountered – and that’s saying a lot! For one thing the vollage of Orland Park has not produced it annual financial audits for two years. And, at the time of my research, the village had not produced its required TIF Annual Reports for 2021, 2022, and 2023! In response to my Freedom Of Information Act Request, the village sent me the 2021 report on October 31!
