Cha-Ching, those Billion $$ runways are on the way, maybe the old
rubble
from the CGX rr can be used as the base material

Mayor Daley Monday got what he needed to continue with O'Hare Airport's
multibillion-dollar makeover -- federal cash to help foot the bill.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta signed a funding agreement
earmarking $337.2 million to be paid over 15 years for reconfiguring
the airfield, a move aimed at bringing more flights to O'Hare with
fewer delays.

Mineta said expanding O'Hare -- the world's busiest airport -- helps
the national aviation system.

It is hard to imagine a more aviation friendly mayor than the Honorable
Mayor Daley. Now there will be less flight delays into O'Hare, so people
won't miss the concerts on the lake.
