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.

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.

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.
