Maybe if the good citizens of Chicago get an 8 million dollar fine they
have to pay with their tax money they will see the light and possibly
other politicians will pay attention when they try to pull illegal
actions against airports. I think the FAA should go after as much as
they can and make sure everyone knows about it.


We can hope, but I'll bet the FAA caves in rather than facing the
dauntless task of prosecuting the Chicago mayor for fraudulent
misdirection of AIP funds. It will take a lot of urging and oversight
by the aviation community and advocacy groups like AOPA to spur the
FAA to action, not to mention political power, IMO.
