When you put it that way, it sounds pretty good. Chicago can keep on losing
until they restore the airport.

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.

You actually believe the stuff you're posting here, including that
little non-truth?

The Park District is a seperate unit funded by property taxes, with the
Meigs fence gone, ALL can enjoy their property.

That Bushie rag is losing readers like PlayBoy in a school for the
blind. Unless you like
the latest missing sweetie-pie coverage.

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?

He's either an idiot or a troll (or both). Either way, why keep feeding

For amusement.

Where did you get that 400 pilot figure? 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?
