      <![CDATA[A deal is a deal in Chicago. 
    
    No one should know what the numbers are before voting so no one can claim they were part of a bad scheme to ruin the city. 
    
    i.e. soldier field, meigs field, hired truck, the list goes on. 
    
    taxpayers dollars wasted by one man.  Richie Daley.

      <![CDATA[Not too impressed with 'new guys' take on what a 'deal' is. Let's put it this way - you can talk all day long about how much you COULD make until you actually try to run the operation. I believe you used "well managed" in your letter? If this system was well managed at all from the beginning we wouldn't be having this discussion! I think Daley sees an opportunity to actually get cash for something NOW, when we really need it, that he would otherwise not get for many years in a badly managed environment. 
    
    I do agree that if the city "well managed" the parking meters and kept the contract it would be better for us overall... but we didn't come up with that solution did we?

      <![CDATA[Sorry if I'm rehashing old news but I (along with the rest of the public) hadn't heard much about the sale of the meters until very recently.  
    When I started thinking about this, I realized there may be something fishy going on. I hate to see the citizens being taken advantage of by "businesses as usual" in Chicago.  There appears to be a desperation on the part of the mayor to fill budget holes and make the
    city appear financial viable for Olympics consideration.   
     I would highly recommend that someone take a look at 14th Street just west of Roosevelt and north of Ashland Ave.  Over 1000 meters have appeared there and on surrounding streets (from Ashland to Damen) in the past month or so in a total wasteland.  There's absolutely no business or residential to make use of them.  I cannot imagine they are anything but an attempt to pad the meter totals for pending purchase.  Imagine the cost to taxpayers of a thousand meters and their installation.  Then, the cost to remove and install again if any construction is indeed done in the area.  And I'd be willing to bet this isn't the only location.  I actually wrote to several of the LAZ Parking executives when this first occurred to me.  Subsequently, I realized that they may be "in on the deal" and this may be a deal with the city to defraud the investor, Morgan Stanley.   Someone's getting their palms greased here and we are paying for it big time.   
    Just some thoughts.  I think it's scary to many Chicago residents that something like this could be railroaded through so quickly.  Not to mention mortgaging our children's future as well as the catastrophic ramifications for small businesses throughout the city.

    so - the 40 that voted "aye" - none of them saw the numbers?

      <![CDATA[Mayor has a the legal right to decide whats best for this city,regardless of the clamor from malcontents like Frank Coconate. Change Chicago . Don't make me laugh. He could not change his own block,much less the city. Mayor Daley is our steward. He will steer the city in the right direction.

      <![CDATA[This is a stupid move to sell off all of the city owned property. 
    
    When will the city have people who represent us who are not crooks? 
    They sell everything or give the special deals to their mafia friends and it is not different than the days of al capone.

      <![CDATA[Where will chicago be after the mayor sells us to the rest of the world for HIS olympic dream?
    Has anyone ever held any community meetings about whether we really want to be sold off as daley has done? 
    
    Did he sell our children's children?

      <![CDATA[The math that Daley sold this at is ridiculous. 
    He mortgaged this away like some greedy jerk getting ready to take his walk in the sun.
    
    I cannot believe I ever trusted this fool to do what is right.  All the other deals looked good, but it was because none of the people asked questions. 
    
    this is so blatantly obviuos that he sold it to a corporation that will raise rates 4x overnight and walk away with our money. 
    
    The FBI should go back and look at every one of the other "good deals" this idiot made in the last few years.
