There’s nothing ‘puzzling’ about lawsuit against Obama Center in Jackson Park

Letter to the Editor: The Sun-Times’ editorial “Let’s quit beating up on the Obama Center’s locale in Jackson Park” is, to borrow from the editorial itself, puzzling. To say that this lawsuit is “last- minute” and “11th-hour” misses several points simultaneously. First, the issue of confiscating public space — 19.3 acres of Jackson Park — for a private enterprise — the Obama Presidential Center (OPC) — has been a well-reported source of concern since the Obama Foundation announced last year that its facility would not be administered by the National Archives.
