I remember the MEIGS Field debacle. One of the groups flying out of there were the Tuskegee Airman who provide free flights to inner city kids to educate the children and provide some better role models for them.
Remember back in 1975 when Halas threatened to move the Bears to Arlington Heights, Richard J. Daley, the good Daley, told the Halas that they can use the name Arlington Heights Bears, but they'll never use the name of Chicago if he was still the mayor. The old man didn’t take crap from anyone, and built up the city in twenty years time, but Shortshanks as mayor trashed the city, gave away the house to enrich himself and family/friends.
The son was a conniver, and a dullard, a bad combination. How many attempts did it take for him to pass the Illinois Bar exam, three? Two of his advisors (handlers) were Rahm “never let a good crisis go to waste” Emanuel, and David Axlerod. Enough said.
