United Chinatown Organization Chinatown Square Association 2133 South China Place Chicago, Il 60616 December 17, 2017 Alderman Daniel Solis 25​th​ Ward Alderman 1645 South Blue Island Chicago, Illinois 60608 121 North LaSalle St. Room 304 Chicago, Il 60602 Via: USPS Regular Re. Reply to your letter of December 11, 2017 regarding SSA 73 Dear Alderman Solis, Thank you for your kind response expressing concern and sensitivity to the unfortunate predicament facing Chinatown Square, however, you did not respond to the main point of our letter dated November 24​th​. In the letter, (copy enclosed) we asked you to confirm and verify a statement you had made at the recent Finance Committee hearing on November 16​th​, to Pat Jan (and heard by many) in which you publicly stated that Chinatown Square would not be included in SSA 73. Accordingly, please clarify, so Chinatown Square Association can plan their future budget which includes paying for many thousands of dollars in legal fees expended to resolve the tax sale situation. Thanking you in advance for your cooperation, as we look forward to working with you Respectfully, Joanne Moy, Director, United Chinatown Organization CC: Hon. Alderman Burke, Chairman Finance Committee Comm.
