Broken promises on O’Hare no surprise
Why is everyone so surprised that the promises made by the Mayor Daley propaganda machine are not being honored and that the Western suburbs are not even included in the current O’Hare expansion talks?
As a supporter of the Suburban O’Hare Commission, I have to remind you that former Bensenville Mayor John Geils was right. Daley made his deal with false promises and no guarantees. A new western terminal? Good Luck.
The western suburbs are already getting the benefits of the expanded airport after only a single new runway, increased noise and pollution, and guess what: The airport’s new configuration points all of these benefits in our direction.
Former DuPage County Board Chairman Bob Schillerstrom sold out northeast DuPage county when he climbed onto the expansion bandwagon and convinced others to drop the fight.
Perhaps he and Mr. Daley can get together and discuss that western terminal and the other benefits of the expansion on the ride from O’Hare to Chicago on that new bullet train that the mayor is now talking about building.
