Six months after an attempt by freshman Ald. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa (35) failed in dramatic fashion in the Budget Committee, aldermen are trying again to help CPS plug its deficit by using TIF revenue.

In February, despite objections over procedure from Ald. Rick Munoz (22), Budget Chair Carrie Austin re-referred a resolution from Rosa calling for “immediate TIF surplus action to offset drastic cuts at our Chicago Public Schools,” to the Finance Committee, where it hasn’t been heard from since.
