Meigs now enjoyed by all!

Jets DID land at Meigs. United even flew an empty B727 in there when
they donated it to the Museum of Science and Industry.

None of the airplanes flying into Meigs made as much noise as
1. The average cigarette boat running up the lake shore
2. The rock bands that routinely play in the park
3. The motorcycle groups that routinely roar up Lake Shore Drive at
any hour of the night. Somebody got caught doing 165mph a couple of
years ago.

Your property taxes aren't supporting the airport.

Then where has the $300 over 15 years on my residential property tax
bill
gone?

The politicians didn't like that, so they suppressed this program.

What is suppressed, plenty of GA airports in CA and plenty of WRECKS
compare Fullerton to LAX.

I don't know. Graft? I'm going by the information you posted, which
indicated your property taxes aren't supporting the airport. Did you post
bad information?

Seeing as it is Dupage County I would suspect your money has been diverted
to some politicians pet pork project.

I see that "jgrove" omitted the fact that CA airports study showed
$110K/year economic benefit to airport areas per based aircraft (old
data, so we should assume more). He doesn't mention the amount of his
taxes going toward supporting street bums (sorry -- "homeless") or
bicycle lanes or other "feel good" tax-supported programs.

IMHO, he is just a jealous whiner who has nothing to offer but criticism.

Geez, GA is just like SANTA CLAUS,leave out some milk and cookies and
santa will
fly you all kinds of presents. Another "suppressed" study, PLONK.

And no matter how hard he pulled on the handlebars, he could never get more
than one wheel off the ground!

With the opening of the Concert Stage, the common taxpayer now enjoys
a park property previously restricted to jet-setters.

Are you kidding?

1. Have you seen those ticket prices? You could have learned to fly for
less!

Free listening on a blanket in the park.

2. Jets didn't land at Meigs. The folks who flew out of Meigs were
specifically NOT jet-setters.

Others have reputed this.


3. Single Engine Prop planes make substantially less noise than most of the
bands listed [Black Eyed Peas, for example]

The arena speakers face outwards, towards the lake.


4. Companies like Clear Channel and TicketMaster will give back much more
to the local community than the aviation businesses based at Meigs?

AV moved to MDW, a great savings due to economies of scale: fuel, mech,
fire etc. already
there. BooKoo GA capacity in CGX area.

How
many jobs have they created at the concert arena?

The usual arena type: vending, ushers, stage, etc.

The common taxpayer was swindled into subsidizing another Media
Conglomerate winfall project...

The revenues from Clear Channel will fund future park facilities on
NORTHERLY ISLAND. No
mooching from taxpayers.

Congratulations!

Its a great addition, air pollution will be reduced as people don't
need to drive to remote concert
sheds.

The case with most entertainment: movies, cable tv, etc.
