Are You Missing $231,000?
- According to the list of earmarks in the Committee Report for the Financial Services Appropriations Bill, the very first request listed is for the ”Abraham Lincoln National Airport Commission." Sounds noble – until you realize that it's for an airport that doesn't exist run by a congressional staffer on Rep. Jackson's payroll.
- According to its website, the Airport Commission “has a mandate from its members to plan, develop, finance, construct and operate a commercial airport with passenger and cargo facilities near University Park. In short, the Commission is dedicated to developing a third airport in the Chicago area.
- Specifically, this earmark would direct $231,000 – taken from taxpayers’ pockets across America – for “Minority and Small Business Development and Procurement Opportunities.” It seems rather curious that an airport that doesn't yet exist would need to develop opportunities for minorities & small businesses.
Who needs a Budweiser distributorship when you can steal hundreds of thousands for a non existent airport?

True! they are traking such huge amounts of money from us and the madigan crew in springfield will allow the fall 2007 increase in our taxes to happen! Then they will have more to give away to all their friends! where is PATRICK FITZGERALD on this lets pray he has a huge round up and puts all the goofs in prison before we all are bankrupt!
Like father, like son.
sounds like another Federal Indictment to add to the long list in -progress already.
Any idea why JJ. Jr. And JJ.Sr are so hell bent on that third airport???
Because they have bought up millions & millions of dollars worth of land inside the proposed foot print of the new airport.
If the airport does not happen, all they have is a shit load of worthless land and Millions of dollars in loans they cant pay back!
PHONE CALL! "PATRICK DID YOU SEE TODAYS NEWS?" "WHAT NOW"? "AGAIN DALEYS STREET CREW ARE IN ANOTHER SCANDALOUS SITUATION!" "WE NEED 10,000 AGENTS TO STEM THIS CORRUPTION!" IT GOES ON AND ON! THIS SCENE IS PLAYED OUT MOST LIKELY EVERYDAY IN PATRICK FITZGERALDS OFFICE! THE BALLS OF THE BLAGO-STROGER-DALEY THEY KNOW INVESTIGATIONS ARE GOING ON BUT THEY THUMB THEIR NOSES AT IT ALL AND KEEP ON DOING IT! EVERYTHING FROM CREATING BULLSHIT 100K PLUS JOBS, TO CONTRACTS TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY, TO RIPPING OFF ALL OF US! LETS JUST HOPE FITZGERALD GETS THEM ALL BEFORE BUSH OR A DEMOCRAT REMOVES HIM FOR DOING HIS JOB ON THE UNGOVERNABLE!
Lil jesse is a thief like his father. And what is it about this that surprises you?
BOYCOTT ALL BUSCH PRODUCTS!!!!
Millions of dollars were spent to modernize Midway. All the clout heavy contractors made some big bucks. Congestion, long waits, traffic jams, all the problems the new Midway was suppose to fix are still present. Midway made some money for the friends of Lapinski, Madigan, and Daly. Build another airport without all the political trimmings. If you don't belive this just look at the cost over runs at O'hare.
