Unions Team Up With Chicago Cubs' Ownership to Attempt to Rip Off Taxpayers

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Flanked by union leaders whose members desperately need jobs, the Cubs tried Tuesday to breathe new life into their plan to use 35 years’ worth of amusement tax growth to finance a $200 million renovation of historic Wrigley Field.

Mayor Daley and Gov. Quinn have shot down the idea. But, Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts is not giving up.

Great moments in rent-seeking.
