00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:07,666
>> THANKS, AMANDA.

PRESIDENTIAL CENTER.

5
00:00:08,233 --> 00:00:14,500
IS THE STATE OF ILLINOIS READY

6
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:16,933
TO PONY UP $100 MILLION TO

7
00:00:12,666 --> 00:00:18,600
ASSIST THE PROJECT IN JACKSON

00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:20,066
PARK ON THE SOUTH SIDE?

9
00:00:16,933 --> 00:00:20,366
"CHICAGO TONIGHT" LEARNED A

10
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,566
PRELIMINARY PLAN TO DO JUST

11
00:00:20,066 --> 00:00:23,500
THAT.

12
00:00:20,366 --> 00:00:25,800
BUT HOW WOULD A PROPOSAL LIKE

13
00:00:21,566 --> 00:00:30,000
THAT FLY IN A STATE THAT IS

14
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:30,333
BLEEDING RED INK ESPECIALLY WHEN

15
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:32,633
THE OBAMA'S PROMISE 100% PRIVATE

16
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,966
FUNDING?

17
00:00:30,333 --> 00:00:34,766
PARIS SCHUTZ JOINING US WITH THE

18
00:00:32,633 --> 00:00:37,700
DETAILS.

19
00:00:32,966 --> 00:00:39,933
>> PHIL, SOURCES TELL US THERE

20
00:00:34,766 --> 00:00:41,300
HAVE BEEN PRELIMINARY BIPARTISAN

21
00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:43,066
TALKS ABOUT THIS GIVING $100

22
00:00:39,933 --> 00:00:44,966
MILLION IN STATE AID FOR THE

23
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:47,166
OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL CENTER.

24
00:00:43,066 --> 00:00:48,000
IT'S SIMILAR TO A PROPOSAL THAT

25
00:00:44,966 --> 00:00:49,666
HOUSE SPEAKER MICHAEL MADIGAN

26
00:00:47,166 --> 00:00:51,300
DANGLED A YEAR-AND-A-HALF AGO

27
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,666
WHEN THE STATE AND THE CITY WERE

28
00:00:49,666 --> 00:00:54,166
STILL TRYING TO LAND THE MUSEUM

29
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:56,100
FOR CHICAGO.

30
00:00:52,666 --> 00:00:58,700
OBVIOUSLY CHICAGO GOT THE MUSEUM

31
00:00:54,166 --> 00:01:00,200
AND THAT PROPOSAL FOR THAT MONEY

32
00:00:56,100 --> 00:01:03,133
DID NOT GO ANYWHERE.

33
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:05,200
MADIGAN SAID IT WAS A GOOD USE

34
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:06,633
OF THE MONEY TO HONOR THE SON OF

35
00:01:03,133 --> 00:01:08,233
ILLINOIS BUT THE OBAMA LIBRARY

36
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,266
PLEDGED FROM THE BEGINNING NOT

37
00:01:06,633 --> 00:01:10,300
TO USE ANY PUBLIC FUNDING FOR

38
00:01:08,233 --> 00:01:11,133
THE PROJECT.

39
00:01:09,266 --> 00:01:12,933
>> ARE THEY BEING INCONSISTENT

40
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:15,433
WITH THE PLEDGE?

41
00:01:11,133 --> 00:01:16,833
OR IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE THE

42
00:01:12,933 --> 00:01:17,266
MONEY WOULD GO TOWARD?

43
00:01:15,433 --> 00:01:18,666
>> NOT NECESSARILY BEING

44
00:01:16,833 --> 00:01:19,900
INCONSISTENT.

45
00:01:17,266 --> 00:01:21,400
THE MAYOR SAID THERE'S GOING TO

46
00:01:18,666 --> 00:01:23,100
BE NEED TO BE LOTS OF

47
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:24,200
INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSIT

48
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,633
UPGRADES AROUND THERE TO MAKE

49
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:28,400
THIS PROJECT HAPPEN AND THAT

50
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:30,133
INCLUDES THE CLOSING OF THE

51
00:01:26,633 --> 00:01:31,066
STREET, CORNELL DRIVE, THE

52
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,200
HIGHWAY THAT THE CAMPUS WOULD BE

53
00:01:30,133 --> 00:01:33,933
BUILT OVER.

54
00:01:31,066 --> 00:01:35,766
AND AS A RESULT THERE WOULD HAVE

55
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,100
TO BE REALIGNMENT OF OTHER

56
00:01:33,933 --> 00:01:38,600
STREETS TO TAKE THE EXCESS

57
00:01:35,766 --> 00:01:38,900
TRAFFIC.

58
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:41,466
ALL THAT WILL COST A LOT OF

59
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,266
MONEY.

60
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:45,766
THERE HAVE BASKETBALL RUMBLINGS

61
00:01:41,466 --> 00:01:47,200
ABOUT EXTENDING THE L ALL THE

62
00:01:43,266 --> 00:01:48,933
WAY TO JACKSON PARK AS WELL AS

63
00:01:45,766 --> 00:01:50,700
OTHER TRANSIT OR INFRASTRUCTURE

64
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,766
UPGRADES THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO

65
00:01:48,933 --> 00:01:54,433
MAKE THIS MUSEUM POSSIBLE.

66
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:56,833
NOW, WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE TALKS

67
00:01:52,766 --> 00:01:58,366
AMONG LAWMAKERS A SPOKESPERSON

68
00:01:54,433 --> 00:01:59,866
FOR THE OBAMA LIBRARY MAINTAINED

69
00:01:56,833 --> 00:02:01,933
THAT QUOTE CONSTRUCTION AND

70
00:01:58,366 --> 00:02:04,233
MAINTENANCE WILL BE FUNDED BY

71
00:01:59,866 --> 00:02:04,633
PRIVATE DONATIONS AND NO

72
00:02:01,933 --> 00:02:06,400
TAXPAYER MONEY WILL GO TO THE

73
00:02:04,233 --> 00:02:07,966
FOUNDATION.

74
00:02:04,633 --> 00:02:09,466
BUT THAT STATEMENT DOES NOT RULE

75
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,933
OUT ANY OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE

76
00:02:07,966 --> 00:02:11,300
AND OTHER UPGRADES THAT WILL

77
00:02:09,466 --> 00:02:12,566
HAVE TO HAPPEN AROUND THE

78
00:02:10,933 --> 00:02:14,066
MUSEUM.

79
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:14,766
SOURCES TELL US THAT MAYOR RAHM

80
00:02:12,566 --> 00:02:17,566
EMANUEL'S TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING

81
00:02:14,066 --> 00:02:18,766
THIS TODAY.

82
00:02:14,766 --> 00:02:20,633
BUT HE WAS MORE COY WHEN WE

83
00:02:17,566 --> 00:02:22,200
SPOKE TO HIM.

84
00:02:18,766 --> 00:02:23,500
SAID IN SO MANY WORDS YES, WE

85
00:02:20,633 --> 00:02:24,800
WOULD LIKE THE STATE MONEY.

86
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,233
>> LOOK, WHEN IT HAPPENS, WE ARE

87
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:30,066
GOING TO WORK TOGETHER.

88
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:31,533
BUT I'M NOT GOING TO ANSWER ON

89
00:02:27,233 --> 00:02:33,100
ANY ONE HYPOTHETICAL BUT I HAVE

90
00:02:30,066 --> 00:02:35,233
UP FRONT FROM THE DAY WE WERE ON

91
00:02:31,533 --> 00:02:36,933
THE SOUTH SIDE THERE WILL BE

92
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:40,133
NEEDED INVESTMENTS JUST LIKE WE

93
00:02:35,233 --> 00:02:42,800
DO IN THE LINCOLN LIBRARY.

94
00:02:36,933 --> 00:02:44,433
AND I THINK THIS IS A TREMENDOUS

95
00:02:40,133 --> 00:02:45,866
GAIN FOR THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND

96
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,000
UNBELIEVABLE BOOST OF ECONOMIC

97
00:02:44,433 --> 00:02:50,233
ENERGY AND CULTURAL ENERGY TO

98
00:02:45,866 --> 00:02:52,933
THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO AND I

99
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,366
HAVE BEEN A SUPPORTER OF IT.

100
00:02:50,233 --> 00:02:57,066
>> THE STATE HAS A $16 BILLION

101
00:02:52,933 --> 00:02:57,366
BACKLOG IN UNPAID BILLS.

102
00:02:55,366 --> 00:02:59,066
GENERALLY IN TERRIBLE FISCAL

103
00:02:57,066 --> 00:03:00,966
SHAPE.

104
00:02:57,366 --> 00:03:02,900
WHERE WOULD THE MONEY COME FROM?

105
00:02:59,066 --> 00:03:05,433
>> NOT UNDER A COUCH CUSHION.

106
00:03:00,966 --> 00:03:07,366
THE TALKS ARE IT WOULD BE PART

107
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:09,466
OF A NEW CAPITAL BILL THAT WOULD

108
00:03:05,433 --> 00:03:11,433
HAVE TO BE PASSED BUT THOSE

109
00:03:07,366 --> 00:03:13,233
TALKS HAVE NOT GONE VERY FAR.

110
00:03:09,466 --> 00:03:14,666
THERE ARE OTHER TALKS ABOUT

111
00:03:11,433 --> 00:03:15,566
HAVING EXISTING CAPITAL MONEY

112
00:03:13,233 --> 00:03:17,466
SOMEWHERE THAT THEY COULD USE TO

113
00:03:14,666 --> 00:03:19,666
FUND THIS.

114
00:03:15,566 --> 00:03:20,100
IT CERTAINLY WOULD BE A TOUGH

115
00:03:17,466 --> 00:03:21,700
SELL FOR SUBURBAN AND DOWN STATE

116
00:03:19,666 --> 00:03:23,500
LAWMAKERS.

117
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:27,100
TODAY REPUBLICAN STATE

118
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:27,100
REPRESENTATIVE DAVID McSWEENEY

119
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:27,100
ISSUED THIS STATEMENT QUOTE...

120
00:03:38,266 --> 00:03:43,466
>> SO IF THERE IS CAPITAL MONEY

121
00:03:39,566 --> 00:03:45,566
OUT THERE, IT'S VERY HARD TO

122
00:03:41,366 --> 00:03:47,933
IMAGINE THAT THERE IS $100

123
00:03:43,466 --> 00:03:49,333
MILLION SOMEWHERE IN SOME FUND

124
00:03:45,566 --> 00:03:51,333
SITTING AROUND TO BE UTILIZED.

125
00:03:47,933 --> 00:03:53,033
THE CIVIC FEDERATIONS LAURENCE

126
00:03:49,333 --> 00:03:54,700
MSALL SAYS THE GENERAL IDEA OF A

127
00:03:51,333 --> 00:03:56,700
NEW CAPITAL BILL IS GOING TO

128
00:03:53,033 --> 00:03:58,466
HAVE TO BE DEBATED.

129
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:58,833
AND IT'S GOING TO BE PRECARIOUS

130
00:03:56,700 --> 00:04:00,400
GIVEN THE STATE'S FISCAL

131
00:03:58,466 --> 00:04:01,633
POSITION.

132
00:03:58,833 --> 00:04:03,633
HE TOLD THE CITY CLUB THAT THE

133
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,466
STATE IS GOING TO HAVE TO COME

134
00:04:01,633 --> 00:04:07,466
UP WITH FINANCING FOR THIS NEW

135
00:04:03,633 --> 00:04:09,733
CAPITAL BILL.

136
00:04:04,466 --> 00:04:10,933
>> FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO SELL A

137
00:04:07,466 --> 00:04:12,800
BIG CAPITAL PLAN THEY NEED TO

138
00:04:09,733 --> 00:04:13,833
IDENTIFY HOW THE STATE IS GOING

139
00:04:10,933 --> 00:04:18,533
TO PAY FOR IT, AND THAT IS GOING

140
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:21,333
TO REQUIRE SOMETHING A LITTLE

141
00:04:13,833 --> 00:04:23,266
BIT BETTER THAN THE VIDEO POKER

142
00:04:18,533 --> 00:04:23,933
AND THE CANDY TAX THAT THE LAST

143
00:04:21,333 --> 00:04:26,000
CAPITAL PLAN THAT WENT THROUGH

144
00:04:23,266 --> 00:04:27,433
ILLINOIS HAS.

145
00:04:23,933 --> 00:04:29,300
BECAUSE WHAT WE FOUND WHEN WE

146
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,366
USED THOSE AS OUR SOURCE FOR

147
00:04:27,433 --> 00:04:33,966
CAPITAL INVESTMENT THEY DID NOT

148
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:36,400
COME FORWARD AND THE STATE HAD

149
00:04:31,366 --> 00:04:37,900
TO TAKE OPERATING CASH AND PUT

150
00:04:33,966 --> 00:04:38,966
IT IN TO PAY THE DEBT SERVICE.

151
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,833
>> SOURCES TELL US THAT A

152
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:42,333
PROPOSAL LIKE THIS COULD BE

153
00:04:38,966 --> 00:04:43,900
READY FOR THE FALL VETO SESSION

154
00:04:40,833 --> 00:04:45,900
IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS.
