“Tom Tresser’s latest book, Chicago Is Not Broke is essential reading for all who have an interest and investment in the future of our city, from City Hall to the residents of each of Chicago’s 77 neighborhoods. This book offers solutions, not only for the city to dig itself out from where it is, but for taxpayers, legislators, and concerned Chicagoans, to learn about the financial state of the city, and provides a progressive and responsible path forward." – Cook County Clerk David Orr
"There are only a few people courageous enough to sift through the lies and tangled webs that proves Chicago isn't broke, but the politics are. Most people won't take the time to do the research, but Tom Tresser and his team have and this book should be on your list."
- Karen Lewis, President, Chicago Teachers Union

This is why we NEED this book!
The mayor (and just about everyone else) claims that Chicago is broke.
This civic education project will refute that claim.
We are going to show that - far from being broke, Chicago has ample resources to become the city we all need and deserve.
Our goal was to raise $10,000 to pay our authors, editor, book designer and print 5,000 copies of "Chicago Is Not Broke. Funding the City We Deserve."
Thanks to a $2,000 grant from the Crossroads Fund we have surpassed our goal!
The book is based on an op-ed piece that Tom Tresser published on Huffington Post Chicago in September of 2015.
YOU CAN PURCHASE A COPY OF THE BOOK. ONLY $15 (plus shipping). ORDER 10 COPIES OR MORE AND GET A DISCOUNT.
We are already making news with this project. We expect to male a lot more.
