This city as far as politics goes is a cesspool. In fact, the entire county and possibly the state are cesspools as well. In my lifetime three ex-Govs have done time; Ryan, Walker, Kerner and now Blago looks perhaps to be joining him.
The Olympic plan imo was ridiculous. Case in point, Daley wanted to build a temporary Olympic Stadium. He wanted the taxpayers on the hook for a $200 million plus stadium which they planned to tear down after the Olympics. I thought the point of getting something like this is so you can have lasting infrastructure improvements. Apparently that isn’t the case here.
And if you want an idea of how things are done her just look at Soldier Field. It is a monstrosity. The once historic landmark on the lake now looks like a space ship landed inside it.
These photos are not touched up. This is how politics works in this city. Daley wanted his crony’s to build the stadium where he wanted and that is what they do.
