Yeah, but it took leadership and vision to do it, so it's okay.

$220M?

Just wait until the Chicago Unions get to work... All that road work and such will cost double...

$220M library and I bet not one copy of the constitution. Maybe multiple copies of the Koran though.

The Story I read said there won't be any books. After spending $220 Mill... they couldn't buy any.

I wonder if they would still build it if Stampy Feet asked them not to. I would be ashamed to have a monument built in my 'honor'. I think venerating politicians is destructive and validates the oppression most of them imposed on a 'free' people.

Well, there won't be long lines to get in so a one lane gravel road will work to get to it.

I’m appalled to know that I’m going to be forced to help pay for this shit. I can’t believe that this asshole is ok with making us pay for this useless shit when we, as a state, are so broke. Narcissism at its finest. F this guy.

Carnegie used his own money to serve others. Obama is using other peoples money to serve himself.

Since Trump has pretty much wiped out all of Zippy's accomplishments, while he was in office, It shouldn't take too much room to store what's left.

I'm thinking a 4' by 4' storage shed should hold his Nobel Prize, and his Netflix contract. Shouldn't cost more than $50.00 a month.

Just more wasteful spending. In time, it will look like any other abandoned building on the southside.

Then it'll be taken over and reworked into a coffee shop, a local branch of the Y, a flea market and a city-managed skate park. Then it'll be sold to some big developer who'll replace it all with condos.

A disgusting, shameful waste. Seriously, $220 million is an absurd amount. Absurd in the very true meaning of the word.
