Anyone else sick of this guy? I am. If you really think he is your guy to challenge Obama in 2012, consider this. Donald Trump is only into this… publicity stunt or whatever it is… for one reason… Donald Trump. You should forget about the showman that he is, who you think he is, and [...]
A friend pointed me to this article today, which notes that tax credits intended to spur economic growth in poorer areas are being misused to build luxury hotels in more affluent neighborhoods: The landmark Blackstone Hotel in downtown Chicago, which has hosted 12 U.S. presidents, opened in 2008 after a two-year, $116 million renovation.
