Gee, $33K? About the price of a used Cherokee 140?

Big whoop. Ten parking meters on Wacker Drive make that in six
months...

I'm heartened that the FAA is closing the door after the cows have
escaped,
and sincerely hope that King Daley is quaking in his boots.

You must have missed the part where Chicago could be on the hook for as
much
as $6 million total (not counting the $33K penalty for violating the
30-day
notice requirement).

The 30-day notice requirement violation is a relatively minor infraction,
and as such wouldn't justify a very large penalty. Diverting funds
illegally is a much more egregious violation, and carries with it a much
greater penalty.

I think it's great news that the FAA is taking action against Chicago, and
I
found nothing negative in the posted press release at all.

Like any of it is going to stick. $33K, $1.5 Million or $6 million its all
peanuts to the city of chicago. Where else can a mayor buy his wife a
lakefront park for that kind of money?
