Seems like you are having a hard time wrapping your mind around this topic.  The 58 million Goes for multiple repairs which includes the Rogers Park roof replacement.  The replacement alone is not 58 million.  I had nothing to do with the current state of the roof which was replaced sometime back in the 80's.  That roof is around 25 years old.  A typical roof at that age is probably due for a replacement.  Yes, i helped design the proposed roof replacement that this bond will cover.  We've already been paid For our services.  Truth is most Of the commentators here including yourself don't know what your talking about.  I am a homeowner myself.  I Will gladly pay the roughly $50 a year in extra taxes knowing it will be going to a good cause.
