FAA Goes after Chicago on Meigs
"Vaughn Simon" wrote in message ... 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.
