I didn't know that but it's Veeeeery interesting.
Boeing's Corporate HQ is now in Chicago. They moved 'here' in Sept of 2001. And they picked Chicago as Boeing was "offered packages of multi-million dollar tax breaks". And those Tax breaks were 'HUGH' as other cities were trying to woo Boeing to their cities with sweet deals too.(1).
And guess who the Chicago Mayor was then, who gave Boeing those FREEBIES - which shifted a huge tax burden to Homeowners for decades to come -- Richard M Daley, Bill's brother. What a coincidence! And then, well golly gee whiz, Bill Daley gets picked to be on Boeing's Board of Directors. WOW! ... another coincidence!
And who says lightening doesn't strike in the same place twice. Coincidence after coincidence.(2)
If I was Bill Daley, I'd play the Mega Ball Lottery every week. With that 'luck' you'd win every couple weeks!(/s)

(2) To quote Leroy Jethro Gibbs: "I don't believe in coincidences"
THIS COULD BE THE START OF SOMETHING EVEN BIGGER The SEC is investigating board members in other venues who siphoned off $500M while sitting on corporate boards.
NOTE: Daley also serves on the Boards of the billion dollar pharma, Merck & Co.........and Boston Properties, Inc........
