W. B. Heffernan, Jr. /p> p> MORE ON THE O'HARE PROJECT br> Re: The Prowler's Pickering Your Fights : br> Illinois Governor George Ryan and Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley recently appeared before House and Senate committees to seek federal approval of their scheme to expand Chicago's airport capacity. The Daley-Ryan plan bypasses the Illinois legislature and the will of the people of Illinois in order to enrich the insiders of both administrations. The only people in favor of the multi-billion dollar airport enhancement are a handful of contractors, lawyers, insurance buddies and family and friends of Daley and Ryan. The opponents are everyone else. George Ryan is so unpopular with Illinoisians that he has made two trips to Cuba -- the local joke is that he's planning his retirement to a state with no extradition agreement with the United States. Mayor Daley is looking more and more like Elmer Fudd. Chicagoans shuddered observing hizzoner stutter and stammer and look pathetically ineffective for three days following a scaffolding accident at the John Hancock building. Any comparison of Daley and Giuliani has been forever dismissed. (Al Hunt recently called Daley the best mayor in America.) If the Senate gets smitten by Daley and Ryan, they become Enemy of the Week br> -- Jack Hughes br> Chicago, IL /p> p> PETER ON VIDEO br> Re: Wlady Pleszczynski
