I have to disagree and agree with the other poster who said this will only
encourage others. If they can get out of having to return all of the
federal airport funds and close and unwanted airport for a mere $30K fine,
then this is a great deal for them.



Do you think this encourages others more than doing nothing does?

Yes, I do. Prior to this they had an unknown liability if they did what
Daley did. Now they have a known, and very small, liability. Most
people will take a known vs. an unknown any day. Before they were still
wondering what might happen. Now they know, and they know it is a
trivial fine.

Chicago was hit with the maximum fine. Because of Meigs the fine has been
increased.

The change in fines for future violations is the only consolation from
this fiasco. Putting Daley in jail would be an excellent outcome though.

On what charge?

If he used the grant money to tear up the runway, maybe they can get him on a
federal fraud charge.

Didn't he violate the law that required 30 days notice?

The punishment for which is a meager fine not jail time.

I'm sure they could find something if they look closely.
