LOL. A "vast anti-GA conspiracy" maybe?? I hope you are correct, but this
is out there.

Provide evidence of covert funneling of money by developers to anti GA
groups. I believe there are probably developers who have made
redevelopment arguments (the "brazen statements"). But guess what? If
the airports haven't accepted the pact with the devil (i.e. the FAA
grants), the local community or private airstrip owner has discretion over
their property.

As far as Megis: which contractor received the contract to "steal and
destroy" the airport. Daley has for years publicly stated his intention
to close down Megis, then he did it. (After Boyer "took him on." LOL) The
people of Chicago elected him knowing of his plans to bulldoze that
airport.
