What a freaking nutjob. Quote The right to carry concealed weapons under the federal Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004 applies to former officers who retired in "good standing." But the act does not define what that means, and it provides the right to people who served "a wide variety of agencies" nationwide, Rosenthal said. That means that a retiree "from some mosquito abatement district in Louisiana" conceivably could carry a weapon while visiting Chicago, he said. "What the federal government is saying is that they are going to turn this country into the wild, wild West," said Ald. Isaac Carothers (29th), the committee's chairman. "We're in trouble," said Ald. Ariel Reboyras (30th). Can you believe these guys? Letting cops be armed is turning things into the wild west?

We Chicagoans are very particular about who gets to shoot our gang-bangers. Now, for the benefit of you non residents of the Great City of Chicago, a little explanation. We don't have Democrats and Republicans in the sense that you would recognize them. While technically listed as a "Democrat", Daley is in actuality the leader of the "White graft, greed and corruption party". The other party is the "Black graft, greed and corruption party". Hispanics are grudgingly allowed in either party so long as they don't rock the boat. Once upon a time there was an independent, but he's currently in Joliet Prison (made famous by the Blues Brothers) for corruption. In the city council they all act in unison as the "Graft, Greed and Corruption Coalition". The city motto is "Ubi est mea" or "Where's Mine". The only way to understand any action of the city civic leadership, including the topic of this thread, is to know who's getting a payoff from whom and for what.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah...those were the things Street ran on for re-election. Now that he's a lame duck, he's cut all the programs he started that made him popular in the first place.

dreamsville 0 #10 December 13, 2004 Monarchy also has its bad points. He bulldozed our lakefront airport in the dead of night. A few weeks ago the city was fined just $33,000 for this act. Of course, Daley isn't the one paying. |I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane.

larsrulz 0 #11 December 13, 2004 Direct from AOPA: CHICAGO USED AIRPORT MONEY TO DESTROY MEIGS The City of Chicago is telling the FAA that Meigs Field was an "abandoned" airport that had to be cleaned up. That assertion comes in response to an FAA probe into whether the city illegally used federal funds. AOPA President Phil Boyer described the city's stance as "another insult." Acting on a complaint filed by AOPA in February, the FAA has proposed fining Chicago $33,100, the maximum allowed, for not providing a required 30-day notice before closing Meigs Field. The FAA is also investigating whether the city illegally diverted $1.5 million in federal funds intended for O'Hare Airport improvements to rip up Meigs' runway and tear down the control tower. In a 40-page legal brief responding to the FAA's notice of investigation, Chicago admitted that it actually spent $2.8 million of O'Hare and Midway airport developmen t funds to destroy Meigs and remove any evidence that it was once an airport. "Meigs Field was willfully destroyed by elected officials using public monies that were intended for airport construction, not destruction," Boyer said. "We're analyzing the city's brief to determine if there is an appropriate legal response from AOPA. But it's clear that the city is—once again—engaging in revisionist history and justification." If the FAA determines Chicago used airport funds improperly, it could fine the city three times the amount of diverted funds. That could make the fine as much as $8.4 million. I got a strong urge to fly, but I got no where to fly to. -PF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
