Let us never forget that Richard Daley is nothing short of a terrorist! He is singlehandedly responsible for the destruction of an operational airport purely for his own motives. That he did so under the rubric of Homeland Defense is particularly heinous.
He needs to be voted out of office ASAP, but I just don't see it happening. It's even worse now that the governor is almost literally in his pocket.
I grew up around Chicago and used to really like it. Now I consider it to be little more than a cancer on the Midwest. Like a cancer, it is ever growing and affects everything it touches. Try asking anyone in lower Wisconsin, northern Indiana or southern Michigan (not to mention the rest of Illinois) their opinion of Chicago and its denizens.
