Is It Possible?


Recent media accounts of discussions about the expansion of Chicago’s O’Hare airport and the subsequent comments by the Governor appear to be at odds (maybe). The Governor wants an airport to service the Will county area (remember Peotone?) and southern Cook county. Would it not make more sense to improve The Springfield airport, The Bloomington airport and Midway? I submit that an improvement in any and all of these airports would create jobs for a larger area of the state and increase the much needed traffic to those areas. I do realize that Springfield and most of the counties are not regarded as part of the State of Chicago but didnt’ the “other” Illinois help elect the current Governor?
