23/27
City Services
Desire for the City to be more
responsive to the needs of local 24th
Ward Citizens
Our priorities should be reflected in the
Mayors Budget
Mayor should come to North Lawndale to
hear our concerns

TIFs
Even though Mayors TIF reform indicates a
need to create jobs, TIF reform does notdirectly address a priority to create jobs
and strengthen businesses for localresidents and business owners in TIFs
No mention of creating opportunities forminority and women owned businesses todo business with the city
No mention of hiring low income residentswho live in the communities impacted byTIFs

Public Health
North Lawndale does not appear to bea primary focus of the Mayors public
health efforts.
He recently released a report on publichealth status demonstrating the lack ofhealth resources in certain communities.
North Lawndale was not targeted in spite
of the fact that a map depicted us to bewithin the top 5 among Chicagocommunities with respect to instances ofHIV/AIDS.
