Arrest King Daley!

This from EAA:

FAA Determines Meigs Closure Illegal, Imposes Maximum Fine
Nearly 2 1/2 years after the fact, the FAA has determined that Mayor Richard
Daley violated federal law when he ordered bulldozers to carve large "X's"
into the runway at Chicago's lakefront jewel, Merrill C. Meigs Field, after
midnight March 30, 2003. As a result, the FAA has levied a $33,000 fine, the
maximum allowed by law, on the city. "This vindicates what we've said all
along," said Steve Whitney, president of the Friends of Meigs Field. "Mayor
Daley's midnight massacre of Meigs was illegal. Good government doesn't
happen in the secret of night." The group calls on Daley himself to pay the
fine. "The Mayor of Chicago knew when he did this that it was illegal and
would incur fines," said Whitney. "Taxpayers should be outraged if they are
made to pay for such blatant abuse of power." The FAA is also investigating
whether the city improperly used over $2.8 million in restricted federal
aviation funds designated for airport improvement. According to documents
filed by the City of Chicago in December, $2,887,462 in airport funds was
spent to demolish Meigs and make way for a nature park. If found in
violation, the city may incur additional fines of $8 million or more. For
more information, visit www.friendsofmeigs.org.

Let's hope Daley ends up behind bars -- or in the looney bin -- where he
belongs.

When are you guys gonna realize that the public doesn't care about Meigs
field and that most of the people in Chicago like and vote for Daley?

It's a waste of time to argue about Meigs. It (and all the other airports
taken down by local governments) are gone and will never be back.

At Oshkosh this year Honda unveiled its new HondaJet - which is a Honda
airframe with twin Honda engines. When it flew past it sounded like two hair
driers running on medium. The HondaJet was incredible ...and quiet.

According to the Honda/GE engine guys in the tent, their turbines meets
Stage4 noise requirements right now - there is no Stage5.

[Insert dramatic line] ...I just hope it's not too late.

If the live ones really like him that much, the taxpayers of Chicago ought to

Send him to New Orleans.

I can hardly wait until Daley starts whining about FEMA and the Federal
Government not giving Chicago money to develop a plan in case Chicago
floods.

Maybe if the good citizens of Chicago get an 8 million dollar fine they
have to pay with their tax money they will see the light and possibly
other politicians will pay attention when they try to pull illegal
actions against airports. I think the FAA should go after as much as
they can and make sure everyone knows about it.
