      <![CDATA[I just got one question?Richard M. Daley says the city has reached a landmark agreement to privatize Midway Airport for $2.52 billion.The deal will net the city more than $1 billion, the mayor said, after paying off the airport&acirc;&#128;&#153;s debt ok so the city gets to keep that money and the assholes who control that money is the same bunch that is putting that fucking ridiculous budget together right? My question is where are they keeping that 1 billion dollars, in Daleys basement? has anybody thought what interest is on a fucking billion dollars? The city is broke only because of the fucking Idiots who are running it or ruining it.

      <![CDATA[From the comments section of an article posted on:
    
    http://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/
    
    
    
    "The lack of parking tickets written by police officers is being covered by Dept. of Revenue folks and privatized other units. Your so-called not doing it is still being done. They actually do a better job of it.
    
    10/08/2008 12:07:00 AM
    
    That's nice... they can keep doing a better job of it and the citizens can hate them for it instead of us. While their at it why not just give every city employee a fucking ticket book and everyone can write each other bullshit tickets so that the alderman can give themselves another raise.

      <![CDATA[a 99 year lease...doesn't anyone else think that 99 years is an absurd amount of time for the publci to be dealing with what will most certainly be rising costs/prices when utilizing Midway?  Our grandchildren will ask what the hell we were smoking to allow this to occur.  99 years...why isn't the length of the lease causing more outrage/questions???

      <![CDATA[How can this Mayor sell public assets,and not be challenged but by a rubber stamped city council.I assumed the Mayor of Chicago and the city council were stewards of the public trust,and not ownwers. Why can't anybody raise a public interest law suit to prevent this miscreant from plundering the public treasury. Daley calls himself a Manager. What other city must sell public assets to balance their budget?

      <![CDATA[When the elected, Legislative Representatives of any government fail to honestly, vigorously and sincerely represent the best interests of their constituents, those individuals are no longer worthy of the offices to which they have be elected to and entrusted with. Period.
    
    Our city council is our city government's Legislative Branch.
    
    Our city's Legislative Branch is NOT supposed to be the Executive Branch's lapdog.
    
    Our city's Legislative Branch exists solely to provide a check on the city's Executive Branch, with our city's Judicial Branch being the interpretor and adjudicator of both the laws created by the Legislative Branch and the policies and actions of the Executive Branch.
    
    
    When the Legislative Branch, the executive Branch and the Judicial Branch all act in collusion, we, in this city, have effectively lost our Democracy and are living under a default dictatorship/aristocracy.
    
    
    Is this what the citizens of this city really want, that Chicago be a dictator's playground?
    
    
    Every election each citizen has the opportunity to answer the above question.
    
    
    My answer is:
    
    
    HAVE NO DOUBT, VOTE INCUMBENTS OUT
    
    
    
    What will your's be?

    sorry, boys, that's too fast
    
    that's ILLEGALLY too fast
    
    full City Council can't take it up unless it is on an agenda posted yesterday at 10 AM
    
    how does an item fresh out of committee late Tuesday get on an agenda posted Monday morning?
