It's a generational thing...I wouldn't walk across the street to see
any of the acts you mention. IMHO there has been no good music since the 1960s. OMG! I'm past the half-century mark. My favorite music includes the Eagles, and course, the greatest live rock-and-roll show of all time, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Never been anything like it before or since. Nothing even comes close. |

With the opening of the Concert Stage, the common taxpayer now enjoys a park property previously restricted to jet-setters. Are concert-goers required to produce a tax receipt for entry? My DuPage County tax bill has included the DUPAGE airport for decades, no benefit to me or 99.999% of the population So why in hell are you posting on a pilots' NG, you ignorant *******? GA benefits EVERYBODY -- you, in your ignorance, just wouldn't recognize it if it bit you in the ass! 2 planes from the private strip in So. DuPage, Brookeridge, have wrecked in the 1990's on takeoff, almost hitting traffic and the local fire district (Darien) built a special station just for them. Pay for your own toys, jet-setters They always were! It is just the crooked Daley Machine that benefits -- he is giving you bread and circuses to cover up his malfeasance. 30-40 $80,000 salaried FF's are now deployed to serve ALL. Not just the fly-boys. Sight-seers can use Gary or Lansing. JG -- Remove _'s from email address to talk to me. |

My DuPage County tax bill has included the DUPAGE airport for decades, What's the tax rate that supports the airport? no benefit to me or 99.999% of the population Only if you and 99.999% of the population are hermits. Do you also believe roads benefit only drivers? Well, the concert is enjoyable outside in the park on a blanket, for FREE! That implies an admission fee is required to actually attend the concert. So this former public-use airport has been converted at taxpayer expense into a venue for private businesses? Do you have any idea what Daley's cut is? It's obviously now a significant source of noise pollution. And the firefighters from Meigs are now deployed to serve all taxpayers. They weren't previously? |

Are you saying that one must be a pilot to benefit from an airport? Get off my property tax bill you moochers. Can you post a property tax bill that shows tax revenue supporting the airport? Gotta love that GOP low tax crowd, except when it benefits them. Are you saying that only Republicans benefit from airports? |
