FAA Goes after Chicago on Meigs

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?

Really. As I recall the recently finished Millennium Park was around $375
million OVER budget and 4 years late. I can only guess what this new park
will cost, and anything the FAA fines them will be a drop in the bucket.

And Daley will no doubt spin himself a role as the heroic defender of
the city persecuted by the big, bad feds.

Perhaps diverting funds qualifies Daley for RICO (racketeering) charges.
I would LOVE to see him go to Leavenworth!

Yes, my thoughts exactly. And why wait so long to act?
