He knows that there is no money in aviation. User fees will be charged
and raised to pay the graft.

Was that supposed to make sense?

In a convoluted way. Daley probably wants to get rid of Midway, but he
cannot do it the same way he did with Meigs. So he privatizes it
increase the fees users pay to access it. The lessee collects the user
fees. The lessee then pays a portion of the user fee to the Daley Show.
Eventually, the fees become excessive and users leave. The Daley Show
then announces that Midway is no longer viable and shuts it down.
This places even more of a burden on O'Hare.
The Illinois congress critters then force a funding initiative for a new
Chicago airport (which will make the $100 billion spent on Denver look
like a bargin) through the legislature. This will guarantee thousands of
high paying construction jobs and income taxes to Illinois for the next
10-20 years.

And just where in Chicago would this new airport be built?

Well, the logical place would be just offshore out in Lake Michigan.
Easy access to downtown, plenty of room to expand...

Oh, wait...

Dave, you need to read the newspapers!
The proposed location is down by Peotone VOR, about 30-40 miles south of
Chicago. It would be run by Chicago.
That's why the proposal was dropped 3-4 years ago. The local communities
weren't going to allow Chicago control over their land.
There would be plenty of graft and corruption to go around, so a deal
could yet be crafted.

Hey, what ever happened to the plan to build one at Peotone? It's been ages
since I heard that mentioned.
