A better idea Sandi is to invest in the Gary Airport. It would be a economic boost to the southeast side of Chicago and cause bigtime competition to the other Airports. That way the wouldn't charge those stupid baggage fees. What do you think?

I think it is outrageous that the media and other elected officials let Cong Jesse Jackson get away with calling Frank Coconate a scungili head and white people lemon heads and use other derogatory words for Italian Americans (I heard the tape) This is racism but many Italian Americans were scared to take on a powerful Congressman.

Jesse Sr and Junior work for the White elite/CIA. Jesse Sr helped the CIA perfected the murder of Dr King. Jesse and other so-called Black leaders have established a secret alliance with Daley. Black and White people are being abused by the elites,and Government. Jesse Jr was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Sandi should focus on the real misery in her 7th ward: gangs and slums.

Sandi, Coconate is right. Re invest in the Gary Airport. It will help everyone. Peotone is not the solution. O'Hare is a $25 billion dollar joke! Sandi if you really want to help your ward and the Southeast side of Chicago. We are closer to Chicago than Peotone and O'Hare Airports. We have the land and infrastructure. Why you worried about $15.00 when you can make $$millions for the Southside by helping bring gary Airport into the Market again!Listen to that guy Coconate and invest in the Gary/Chicago Airport!

Chicago City Workers in DesPlaines May 27th - 10:37 p.m. News Maker your right. Informat Patrick McDonough the Plumber lives in DesPlaines, yet still works for the City of Chicago. Hows that work? Pat McDonough put a wire on and hurt other City workers than they give him a pass. Any worker he burned could go to his house at 1970 Everett-DesPlaines and see for yourself he lives outside Chicago. Thats breaking the law McDonough. How can you bust other workers , when YOU break the law yourself. call 1312-685-4333 or ask the IG why they condone that behavior. Mr. David Hoffman and Loevy and Loevy are supporting someone who breaks the law?

Jackson defying the Mayor? With what? A bunch of press releases and fancy sound bites. We don't need another hack. We need someone to clean the alleys and streets.

Cocoman why are you attacking the man who exposed hired trucks,isn't he a Whistleblower like yourself. Why don't you guys combine forces and fight Daley?

It would, as Mick Dumke suggests, be refreshing to see alderpeople dealing with City business, as opposed to "challenging" a federally-regulated industry, over which the Council has approximately zero authority. That said, Sandi Jackson, as the spouse of a Congressman, is probably is well positioned as any alderhuman to engage in this particular species of grandstanding.

Sandy when you get want you need ,leave that mope husband. You are not a bad looking women. Jesse cheats on you while in Washington,a fine women like yourself needs a man who cares for you. Junior wouldn't even take a picture with you.

" ... the proposed plan discriminates against those who can least afford the fee ... " wha?

The guy who exposed the Hired Truck Scandal was Tim Novak ,award winning reporter with the Chicago Sun-Shine "The Daley Paper." The phony who takes credit for it is Patrick McDonothing. He lives in DesPlaines at 1970 Everett. The only thing he exposed was himself !

discriminates??? Against who? Blacks? Give it a rest.The Airlines are in trouble, so they need other revenue sources.Alderman Sandi should ask her husband to discontinue his pipe dream and invest in Gary!!! That would help the those who can least afford the fee ... "

Is Vincent BiFry still with Jesse Jackson? Jackson is a racist corrupt hypocrite a real arrogant (for no good reason). Thank God Jackson did not become Mayor. Jesse Jackson should be called out for calling Italians Scungili heads what if Alderman Banks called Jackson an eggplant.

I think Frank Coconate got fired for a Jesse Jackson Jr. pin while driving a city truck. It was on t.v. Now that is an idiot. When Coconate begged for money, Jackson spit him out like a cheap rug. Frank ownes over $400,00.00 on his (the banks) house) What a loser. A bum.

REGISTER TO VOTE VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION HAVE NO DOUBT, VOTE INCUMBENTS OUT Before every election, compile a list of the Incumbents seeking reelection, from every branch of government, Executive, Legislative and Judicial, and for every contested office, be it city, county, state or federal. Bring this list with you when you go to vote. In Primary Elections: Vote in the Primary of the political party of your choice, preferably that party which has the most Incumbents seeking their party's nomination to be that party's candidate in the General Election. The goal is to deny Incumbents reelection in the General election, so, if the Incumbent fails to win their party's Primary Election, that Incumbent will not be that party's candidate in the General Election. If the Incumbent has only 1 challenger, vote for that challenger. If the Incumbent has 2 or more challengers, then, to maximize the votes for a single challenger, vote according to ballot name position, following these two, simple rules of thumb: 1. If the Incumbent's name is listed FIRST, vote for the Challenger whose name is listed LAST or If the Incumbent's name is NOT listed first, vote for the Challenger whose name IS LISTED FIRST. Denying the Incumbents their party's nomination to run in the General election will ensure that those Incumbents will now be Ex-Incumbents. In the General Election, if given the opportunity, vote for any candidate who is NOT a member of the Democratic or Republican party. Breaking the stranglehold these two party's have on our governments is the only means of returning democracy to Our Democracy, Of the People, By the People and For the People. Anything less is, and has been, proven to be futile. HAVE NO DOUBT, VOTE INCUMBENTS OUT

This is just another scheme to take more money away from people, under the pretense of airline fees. Sandi, ride CTA sometime and maybe you'll connect with your ward.

Sandi is jumping on this issue because for three days each week she is in Washington DC, where her kids go to school. She is a part time alderman which is why she wants to get Cong. Rush's job - so she can be full time in DC. She should rally against the high price of gasoline, which impacts more people. Someone spending $$$$ on a trip to Orlando for Disney is not gonna miss another $15 bucks. But Joe six pack driving to Wisconsin Dells with the family really feels the gas crunch.

HEY! you can do better than Junior. Leave the mope and get a real man like me baby.

Text size: Mayor Richard Daley may be a political powerhouse in Chicago, but just over the city line in Evanston, some seniors at Northwestern University think he's too, well, parochial to be their commencement speaker. Students say they feel let down because the choice, announced this week, doesn't carry the cachet of recent speakers, Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain, or even last year's speaker, Julia Louis-Dreyfus of "Seinfeld." Some were hoping for the Dalai Lama. "If your goal in the speaker selection process was to make graduating seniors happy about leaving this university, then mission accomplished," Matthew Braslow of Vernon Hills wrote on Tuesday to Northwestern President Henry Bienen. Braslow also said he will not attend. Related links Editorial: No diploma confers maturity Right speaker? Is Mayor Daley an appropriate commencement speaker for Northwestern? Yes No View current results Comments: ' Elitist, spoiled, rich brats' "Matthew, grow up," Bienen wrote back Wednesday morning. Bienen's e-mail added: "You also sound like a very unhappy person. I am sorry for that. Hopefully things will improve for you over the years." But other seniors also seem to be taking the choice as a personal slight, calling the decision to honor Daley everything from "lame" to "a letdown" in interviews with the Tribune and in some of nearly 200 messages posted on The Daily Northwestern student newspaper's Web site. "The people who are vocal are disappointed. If it's a majority of people who are happy, it's a silent majority," said senior Abe Rakov, who was editor of The Daily Northwestern until March. "Almost everyone who has spoken out has been against it." While Rakov said he thinks Daley will be a "great speaker," he says students are upset because they had been pumped about the prospects after Bienen told the student newspaper this month that the speaker is an "extremely well-known person" and somebody who "doesn't make a habit" of giving graduation speeches. Bienen's vagueness led students to speculate that the choice could be former British Prime Minister Tony Blair or the exiled Tibetan leader, the Dalai Lama, Rakov said. "I thought we'd have someone with a much higher profile, especially after President Bienen hyped it so much," said senior Simon Lu. "I thought it would be someone with a national or international profile . . . I was hoping someone more famous would show up." It's true that Daley rarely delivers college graduation speeches, said Daley spokeswoman Jacquelyn Heard. He has turned down numerous university requests, she said, instead opting to speak at a couple of Chicago high school and elementary school graduations each spring. The students "are right he is not nationally known," Heard said. "He is an internationally known civic leader who is widely recognized for transforming this city into a culturally rich, economically diverse global center that draws business, visitors and residents from all over the world." Northwestern spokesman Alan Cubbage said he had seen "a couple" of e-mails from students upset about the choice of Daley to speak and receive an honorary doctor of laws degree at the commencement ceremony June 20. In a statement, Bienen cited Daley's national reputation as a leader who has addressed "the challenges facing Chicago and other American cities." He also said the honor was appropriate because Northwestern's founders met in Chicago when making plans for the university. Six other people, including Evanston Mayor Lorraine Morton, will receive honorary degrees. NU's other commencement ceremony choices have come under fire this year as well. Some Law School students were upset by the decision to have controversial talk show host Jerry Springer speak this month. And the university rescinded an offer to bestow an honorary degree on Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Jennifer Cota, a junior and president of the Northwestern Class Alliance, the student government branch of the school's alumni association, said the choice of Daley was a hot topic among the 35 students in her Chicago Way literature class Wednesday. "I think it's a great choice compared to Jerry Springer," said Cota, 21. "I think people were hoping it would be a famous Northwestern alum. I think people just really wanted someone huge" Social policy major Alexandra Broin had another take. "I know that there are some different questionable ethical things going on as long as one or both of the Daleys have been in office," said Broin, 22. "He is a questionable source for giving graduating seniors advice on how they go about taking that next important step in life." Senior David Lassiter, 22, said he was satisfied with the choice—sort of. "Obviously he's part of a Chicago legacy," he said. "It's not a disappointment, but I wanted Barack." Jodi S.

Jesse Jackson is a down low brother. So is Vincent Fry. That bizarre show they did on Black bisexual men revealed a lot.

Jackson insists he and Meeks have always kept their political work separate from Salem’s spiritual mission. “A lot of our political meetings took place at the Division Street Bath House,” he says. “We don’t sit around the church scheming.” http://www.chicagoreader.com/features/stories/churchofclout/

Sandy Jackson is cool and would make a good Congressman and is a good alderman. BUT, her no good cheating arrogant megalomaniac extortionist husband should NOT be a Congressman with his money buddies and Nigerian drug dealers. Jesse Jackson cheats on poor Sandy with women who could not even hold a candle to her and even men. Jesse James Jackson Jr is an extortionist.

Sandy should divorce Jesse.

Sandi - it's time for elected officials to seriously consider their constituents. An airport in Peotone is not the solution for the residents in the south suburbs. As Frank Coconate and Gary Mayor suggest the Gary/Chicago International Airport is the only real solution for the south suburbs. It's closer to Chicago, ready for planes and passengers, and wouldn't destroy production farmland far south of the south suburbs in an agricultural region as the proposed Peotone airport would. Have you visited the Gary/Chicago airport? If not, call Chris Curry and arrange for a tour. You will find a clean, efficient airport ready to answer transportation needs for your area's constituents. Have you talked with elected officials or people who live near the 20_ year proposed Peotone airport? Have you visited the rural communities surrounding the proposed Peotone airport? Most politicians have not, but they have jumped on the band wagon beating the drum for it without actually looking into themselves. Let's face it, our husbands aren't always right and when they are they don't want to admit it. You're a smart woman, don't support something if you haven't done what I've asked you above. Consider it!
