Jeff Trigg makes an excellent point about O’Hare expansion and the sleazy contracts that will likely be issued. As it stands now, there will be far fewer safeguards against the contracts being legitimate.
However, I’ll blame this on Fitzgerald because instead of working a federal bill that would have demanded some accountability and put Durbin in a corner to support such measures, Peter has refused to offer any constructive way to expand O’Hare while keeping it clean. O’Hare expansion is vital and he thinks it shouldn’t happen. So now it will happen and happen with few safeguards.
