Abra Ca$h-Dabra!
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel broke out a string of strong adjectives on Monday as he began to sell an $8.5 billion expansion of O’Hare International Airport, calling his vision to catapult the major travel hub into the 21st century “once-in-a-lifetime,” “watershed,” “unprecedented” and “the gold standard.”
Emanuel echoed top aides in saying no taxpayer dollars would be used to bankroll the plan. And unlike previous O’Hare runway projects, the mayor said his push to add a state-of-the-art terminal, dozens of new gates and several additional concourses would not rely on any federal funding.
Is O'Hare a wholly owned asset of the City of Chicago? It must be because Daley tried to sell it and Midway at one point.
If so, everything it generates is "taxpayer dollars." Now, there might be some rules or agreements that say revenue generated by O'Hare has to be spent at O'Hare, but it's all a shell game. The money generated at the airports is more than enough to fund all sorts of things - road repairs, infrastructure improvements, pensions. But that negates the ability to skim and direct crooked contracts to political contributors.

it is all about contracts. Ohare is the reason the city dems do not want a real regional transportation authority, they do not want to share
There's plenty of money for pensions.
If they try to fuck us out of them it's theft pure and simple.
Respond accordingly.
9.5 also said the airport expansion would allow us to leapfrog over the competition [LAX, Atlanta-Hartsfield and Miami are currently kicking our ass in the area of international passenger arrivals.]
Remember there old 9.5, when playing leapfrog, there comes a time when a most vulnerable orifice is exposed and highly positioned. Somebody might just decide to ram something into it.
Didnt they say the Obamanation Library would be built without taxpayer money ? Oh yeah “infrastructure” improvements werent included.
OT Tonight on Tucker Carlson Show (FOX National News) at 1900 and 2100 he exposes Rahm's plan to get re-elected despite being hated by the voters.
Absolutely correct. February 26, 2019. Vote the midget out.
That kind of money would sure shore up the pension..... but Rahm is always broke right?
Chicago taxpayers were warned that the runt was going to burn through the leftover TIF money that crime boss daley couldn't steal...
To be accurate, Daley had designs on leasing Midway airport to a group from Canada in 2008. The group failed to get their financing in order and left about 27 million in earnest money and walked away from the deal at the last moment. O'Hare was never in play. As for these two facilities, they are owned and operated by the city. Everything at the airport is financed by the air carriers through terminal leases and landing fees which are calculated by the weight of the planes arriving at the airport. Concessions are the real money maker. Leases are negotiated by the price per square foot of the concession area and a graduated percentage of sales guaranteed by the lease holder. Nothing at the airport comes from the taxpayer with the exception of the passenger facility charge each passenger pays when they book a flight. Those charges are levied by the federal government and are supposed to be used to finance security enhancements at the airports. Just sayin.
What about the retired police health insurance double fuck this city
"The money generated at the airports is more than enough to fund all sorts of things - road repairs, infrastructure improvements, pensions".
Everyone and I mean everyone, even SCC, forgets about the retirees who had their Health Care cut by Rahm.
Feel like I have to say,"I'm not dead yet".
The money will be raised by increasing fees, rent, and other means. So if you fly from either airport,your contributing.
He is a sneaky little bastard, isn't he?
You just know that some where down the pipe, we tax payers are gonna get hit with SOMETHING from this....
Be the CHANGE!
Did anyone notice the Mayor's Ohare Expansion press confrecne was at the Academy. Standing in the background with Barb West were the "Be the Change" recruits.
No link the "Fiburne," but the headline is as follows:
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel discusses his push for an $8.5 billion dramatic expansion of O’Hare International Airport. Feb. 26, 2018
and United and Delta shoved it to the NRA..
Why are the tax payers footing the bill for the airport? Shouldn't the airlines pay for any new construction?
Taxpayers ALWAYS pay. He's a democrat, he has lied so much, he doesn't even know when he is lying anymore. If his lips are moving, he's lying!
Where is your ONE THOUSAND new cops Mayor? Cops, not cannon fodder!

Please refrain from using facts to articulate your point.
Hey Rahm, they still have snow in Colorado.
You need to get out more, make your presence
known on the piste, mix with the greys on trays.
Dear 1:09am
From the Trib
Municipal ID cards that Mayor Rahm Emanuel is launching for undocumented immigrants and others will be a valid form of identification for people both registering to vote and voting in Chicago, according to a letter aldermen received Friday.
Fucking Awesome!

The money will fund the crooked politicians of Chicago deep pockets.. and I have to do ethics training..
Rhambo, here's my "vision" for you. Hold out your hand in front of your face. Now tuck inward the thumb and index finger. Next tuck inward the pinkie and ring finger's. THERE, there ya go Rhambo! There's my "vision" for and of you!!!!
This is THE reason McCarthy is running for Mayor. The payoff to drop out will now be worth a $50-60 MILLION private security contract to take over the Aviation Security Guard nightmare as well as Simons new $200 MILLION janitorial contract. Look for department supported VRI at airports in next contract and thankfully the dissolving of the the embarrassment of the Aviation whatever it is Clout Babies. Expect Unit 050 to triple in size in next few years.
OH MY GOD , Here's ASSHOLE BALLERINA RAHM again Suddenly going to pull out more Millions out of his ASS AGAIN for this project now ,NOW That's a Deep Asshole because he keeps pulling out millions for everything he only wants every 3 Months ... BUT isn't it funny they always say WE are broke and don't have any Money for Pensions and keep cutting everyone's Health care down and making everyone pay more , even the retired officers.

Yea ok stay off the blog rahms ass kissers! You mean to say the airlines will pay 8.5 billion but remembering we always have cost overruns (Payoffs) and it will skyrocket to at least 15 billion and the taxpayers will be on that hook again,as another failed attempt by rahm and the democratic cabal fails! Think about this here is the sneaky ballerina that ruthlessly ripped away police retirees health care and gave that money to the criminal illegal invaders,even being so low as to now having the city clerk (waste of taxpayers dollars), implement an id card for the illegals to help them get drivers licenses,and vote (yea keep saying it is illegal for non-citizens illegals to vote lol).
So whats the difference give away billions to friends and family in airport contracts as you safely hide millions in your personal piggy bank like rahm and crew do, rahms nose grows constantly you can tell he is lying when his lips move!
But no money for pensions?? PRICK
This is the same so called mayor who wants to spend 2 billion bucks to extend the red line out to the gardens so the mutts can get downtown fast to loot and steal and rob. But no money for widows and retires health care. Do not vote for any demorats.
There is always plenty of money for graft and public works projects where the aldermen and their pals get paid off. Pensions not so much.
Won’t cost the taxpayer a dime...yeah right.
That fvcking criminal cash cow enterprise known as O’Hare Modernization needs a grand scale audit before ShortShanks drops dead.
And take the scheming Rahm down too.
Over $10 billion so far and still 2 years away from the completion of the last unneeded runway pattern and now they’re planning another unaccountable 10 year billion dollar venture.
This is how these weasel politicians operate, just as they wind up one expensive and needless project, they start another.
Reading how they want to accomadate the traveler- NOT the taxpayer, by giving them a shorter (5 min) taxi-in to a gate.
There’s no better way to waste money than on a competion with Atlanta for the “Best Airport” trophy.
AlderThieves, 48 of them will side with Rahm.
Forget about any surplus from the “economic engine known as O’Hare” to give back to the taxpayer.
Not anytime soon if ever either.
Quack Quigley is another idiot that won’t do anything to protect the resident taxpayers in the once quiet Wards 41,39 and 45 that have been bombarded with increase noise and pollution from the new runways built in the last 3 years.
As I said, it won’t cost the city a dime...if Rahm gets launched in Feb 2019.
But until then, he shouldn’t be getting a dime from USDOT grants like he did from o’Hussein in his waning months in office.
So if President Trump stalls the cash flow for 7 more years, Rahm will again rely on the NWside taxpayer.
I hope President Trump and the USDOT/FAA puts the kibosh on Rahm’s Global Sanctuary transportation vision until an audit is completed for work already over budget and way off schedule.
Rahm won’t talk about money or “modernization” of Healthcare for retirees, not even as obamacare is fading away.
Dump Prickwrinkles 2018 - Dump Rahm 2019
@6:35 am We all know you got shafted out of your healthcare but that ship has sailed and it's not returning. It certainly is a reminder that everything agreed to must be documented by law and signatures.
Daley would have sold the entire city to the highest bidder if allowed. What better way to pad a retirement fund
And the northwest siders think the jet noise is bad now, wait until this gets going!
Its a fucking disgrace, widows barely making it because this Mayor took the medical away. But this jagoff can fine money for obama library and billions for an Airport expansion.
Why not impose a soda pop tax to help pay for the modernization of the airport!
Rahm found another money tree.

and he used the millions taken from police to have the girl anna in city clerks office make the id card for the illegal invaders who will now get free cta rides and free admission to attractions and get to vote look at the criminals in city hall!
OT a bit, but:
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2007-09-25/news/0709240429_1_field-museum-nonprofit-museum-subsidy
If you, hypothetically, put a building in Jackson Park and self identify as a Museum, can you get "Museums in the Park" monies?
Just a thought...
