Taxpayers face decision on Chicago exposition hall bonds
Wap will county taxpayers show interest in a plan backed by Chicagoans and approved by State treasurer Elmer Hoffman to issue 23 million in state bonds for a Chicago exposition hall. The Metropolitan Fair and Ex position Authority would receive eight million in state funds, raised from pari mutuel racing, plus 25 million from revenue bonds funded by hall rents. Bond buyers shrink from long term bonds, raising questions about using state funds for a 33 year obligation amid welfare and school funding needs.
