Did this jackass Mayor even bother to find out what is involved in getting the aircraft that are there now out? What if they CAN'T use the taxi way to depart? What if they also WON'T FIT on a truck to get them out? Does this clown have any CLUE what it would cost to dissassemble and reassemble aircraft to get them moved? How about the cost of moving utility poles and so forth, if thats the only way to truck them out? It would probably end up cheaper to re-do the runway. But then, he HAD a runway. Duh!

At the very least, the owners of the stranded aircraft should sue for loss of use, ALL costs involved in getting the planes out, and for any other losses involved.

This thing sounds so childish! I thought I had it bad living in NY State. The folks in Chicagoland seem to have an imature little jerkwad running things there.

I hope there's some way to hit they mayor in the pocketbook personally. This action was patently illegal; the residents of Chicago shouldn't have to give up their tax dollars to pay for the crimes of their mayor.

They do. They have him, his city council of yes men, the rat machine and now his boy in the governor's chair. The people in the city are dumb and they elect the bozo, time after time. They just don't know any better.

All the planes there can be pulled out with a truck, but it will cost. The feds, the State and the courts ought to make him put the airport back and hold him in the county jail 'till it's done. I hope the crews go on strike too while he's in there.
