The fact remains, we pilots/AC owners, are a small (less than 1% of
the general population) and have N O clout. That means, when an
airport such as Meigs is closed by Daley (or any mayor for that
matter) most of the public couldn't care less.

As a matter of fact, Daley may have more supporters in Chicago than
the combined membership of AOPA including the entire flying public.

Certainly he does by a factor of 10 or more.
