Who Says Illinois is Broke? $10 Million to Restore Uptown Theater- Privately Owned Theatre Gets Politicians to Steal Money From Taxpayers.

Chicago Daily Observer reports:

Renovating the historic Uptown Theatre is the “missing piece” to creating an entertainment district in the North Side neighborhood, proponents say. And that effort just got a $10 million boost.

A House Bill which included the appropriation for the theater — pushed by Senate President John Cullerton (D) — passed both houses of the Illinois Legislature last week. It’s the first major investment in the theater since it was purchased by JAM Productions in 2008.

In Illinois, there's seems to be no limit on what government can do.
