We'll start copy editing by correcting "archive" and "yard" in your reply. How's that?

Your choice of phrasing led me to believe that you were referring to a specific story from the archvie, for example, the Lasalle TIF, the Wilson Yark TIF, etc., and not to TIFs, in general. Chicagoist needs a copy editor.

Thanks for posting this, Chuck. FYI Karen's last name is "Gerod," and Anastasia called in sick this morning, so I'm (frantically) making soup in her stead. Hope to see you there.

Tax Increment Financing and how the Daley Administration has set it up to be a slush fund is the story. For years, Joravsky had been the main (and only) reporter covering it.

To which of Ben Joravsky's stories are you referring? The link that was posted is to an archive of stories, not a specific article.
