Default FAA Goes after Chicago on Meigs

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.


I see it as a solid loss for everyone. Aviators lose a fine airport,
Chicago loses an asset which generated far more annual revenue for the city
than $1.6 million, and Daley loses his casino.
