Mayor Daley's Quote of the Week 1

"A modern, efficient O'Hare Airport will be welcomed not just by residents of the Chicago area, but also by a man in Toledo who needs to get to L.A., a woman in Des Moines with business interests in London. The whole nation benefits. People get to spend more time doing what they want to do."
--Dick Daley, after the Bush administration approved a $337 million down payment Monday to build new runways at O'Hare International Airport. Thanks, mayor, for paying attention to the little people of Toledo and Des Moines. In the meantime, you ignore the little people of Chicago, allowing the CTA to raise fares yet again without making the service any more modern or efficient.
