$15 billion to expand O'Hare.

Dang, just think of how many GA airports that much $$$ could
rejuvenate!

I'm waiting for Skylune to jump on this thread and rant about the
huuuuge subsidies given to ORD for this project...

In the case of O'Hare, I might be inclined to agree with him.

After what he did to Meigs, King Daley and his Democratic Machine
should pay every dime of that $15 billion O'Hare expansion bill.

Indeed. Why are we wasting money on an airport for a city that obviously
feels such an excess in capacity that it can vandalize one overnight into
uselessness?

I think we need to divert these funds to rebuild Miegs!

Just think of how much of that $$$ is going to wind up in the pockets of
Daley's political cronies.

Skylune's issue seems to be subsidizing GA.

Chicago has to be the most GA unfriendly place on the planet.

The first bid for major work came in way over budget. They sent it back out
for bid again. Wonder what the final cost will be.

I realize this, I'm just curious to see if he'd have anything to say
over a multi-billion dollar subsidy to aviation in geneal. As far as
your second thought, I agree.

I'd agree with his first thought, as well.
