The Zoning Committee is Thursday, June 5th, 10:00 am in City Council
Chambers in City Hall, 121 N. La Salle.

From Peggy Figiel,


We know it is very difficult to
take time off from work during the day but please make every effort to
join us at this critical meeting.

The Zoning Committee will review the Museum's application for a change
in zoning of Grant Park that includes, not only the Museum, but
multiple restaurants with full liquor licenses and all uses that currently
exist in Millennium Park.

This is clearly the beginning of the development of Grant Park for
commercial use.

* Please join us Thursday, June 5th in voicing your opposition to this
blatant land grab. The Zoning Meeting is a public meeting and all
voices must be heard.

* It is very important that there is HUGE turnout. This is a city wide
issue with consequences for all of Chicago's parks. This is the
last public meeting where you can speak out against this illegal proposal.

* Call your alderman and tell him/her to vote "NO" to this land grab!

It is financially irresponsible for our aldermen to support this
proposal which is guaranteed to result in a lengthy, expensive lawsuit when
the overwhelming majority of taxpaying Chicagoans do not want this
Museum in Grant Park.

The Museum can build almost anywhere else in the entire city.

Chicago has the highest sales tax, highest gas prices and now we will
have to pay for a lawsuit for something no one wants??

LETS STOP THE MADNESS AT THIS ZONING MEETING!

Here are the names of the aldermen on the Zoning Committee. Let's hold
them accountable to their voters:
