Good will be a park to be enjoyed by all now. Great extension for biking, blading, jogging etc...maybe another Buckingham.

Suppose Mayor Daley thought Buckingham Fountain should be replaced by a statue of his late mother. Would he have the authority to simply order some bulldozers to crunch the old fountain and have his statute built?

According to the article, the demolition costs were well over $100,000. Does Mayor Daley have the authority to spend such sums of taxpayer money on a whim?

Hardly a whim..but I like your rebuttle.

Fact is everything is all legal and I think thought out completely before the action took place. The post I just made prior referenceing Ryan opened the way.

I however, SBC getting the prison contract(no other bidders?).. SBC Communications Inc., President William Daley. That is the buzz.
