The document is from a lecture series arguing that Chicago is not broke. It discusses how the city has failed to hold public budget meetings in recent years. It then lists several presentations given at the event about ways corruption, toxic bank deals, police abuse, TIF funds, income taxes, and financial transaction taxes have cost the city money. One presentation advocated for establishing a public bank in Chicago. The document encourages people to get trained to win justice and lists an upcoming grassroots campaigning training event.
