Yusef Jackson sought city tax subsidy last year for beer distributorship

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Twice last year, Chicago businessman Yusef Jackson — a son of the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson and brother-in-law of Ald. Sandi Jackson (7th) — went to City Hall seeking taxpayer money for a new home for his Budweiser beer distributorship west of downtown, records obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times and interviews show. At first, Jackson asked for a $4.2 million city subsidy in the form of tax-increment financing.

Chicago taxpayers be damned!
