Chicago Parking Politics…
The problem with talking about Chicago Politics is that corruption is so pervasive that’s its almost impossible not to think about it and connect graft and payoffs to virtually everything. We probably should tread carefully, however when we consider the latest “sale” of parking infrastructure.
My contacts on both sides of the deal say that the city did well. They covered their budget (although I could think of other ways to do it, it was probably politically impossible to cut it much more), have a few bucks in the bank, are past a “crisis” for at least the next five years, and have gotten the headache of trying to run a parking program in that most intense of all political environments.
