:: 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. We can hope, but I'll bet the FAA caves in rather than facing the dauntless task of prosecuting the Chicago mayor for fraudulent misdirection of AIP funds. It will take a lot of urging and oversight by the aviation community and advocacy groups like AOPA to spur the FAA to action, not to mention political power, IMO. |

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. 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. Margy 8 million is petty cash to the city. No one will even notice. Dickey's administration is under a lot scrutiny lately due to illegal practices in numerous departments. A lot of his generals have resigned and quite a few are wards of the federal government. Meigs is so far down in the noise level it is invisible. |

"Jim Burns" wrote in message ... 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. Jim BIrds of a feather, evidently. "By 1998, Louisiana’s state government had a $2 billion construction budget, but less than one-tenth of one percent, or $1.98 million, was dedicated to New Orleans levee improvements. By contrast, $22 million was spent that year to renovate a home for the Louisiana Supreme Court. Where did all the money go? Again, the Times-Picayune says much of the money went not to flood control, but to lawmakers’ pet projects, from a $750 million for a new canal lock to a $2.5 million Mardi Gras fountain project that ran $600,000 over budget."

Again, who cares? It was up to the State of Louisiana to take care of New Orleans. More importantly, it was up to New Orleans to take care of New Orleans. Whether that meant paying for the improvements themselves, or applying political pressure to the Army Corps of Engineers, Congress, or Santa Claus, it should have been done BY THEM. I'm really, REALLY tired of New Orleans politicians pointing the finger of blame everywhere except at their own chests. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
