At last, justice is done, and the criminals have been fined. But one
wonders why it took the AOPA to get the FAA to enforce the law:

I don't know....$1.6 million isn't anything to the city, and Daley would do it
again in a heartbeat, even knowing he'd be fined.

Unfortunately, I agree. Unless Chicago were forced to restore the airport
(never a serious possibility), we lose.

That land (which Chicago effectively stole) is worth far more than the $1.6
million. I see a solid win for Chicago. And the "criminals" themselves get off
scott free, it was the taxpayers who foot the bill for the tiny fine, not the
actual criminals.
