    Illinois officials should be ashamed of themselves for fooling and coercing people out of their homes and properties.

    The state might be struggling financially, but that does not mean, it will force the taxpaying public out of their homes.

    I don't understand the use of the airport, and this project is illegal without the approval of the federal government.

    I don't think they can use the eminent domain to take people's property, as this project is still not approve by the federal government.

      You are right--by all good reason and common sense--but that should also have been enough to end the folly of this project in the 25 years the State of Illinois has been pushing it. The project itself, by the way, violates all good reason and common sense. Since when has the State of Illinois governed by good reason and common sense?

      This project should have died in 1992 when a committee of decision-makers from Illinois, Indiana, and Chicago rejected it. But, thanks to Governor Jim Edgar, who revived it, it didn't end. 

      Pay-to-play in Illinois yields way too many rewards for the few to worry about a few one-horse towns. A court challenge is needed, but who affected can afford to bring charges against these would-be thieves, knowing they would likely lose in a politically-driven circuit court? It would take more money to appeal to a higher court. 

      Two eminent domain cases are already in the courts. Yes, the state's actions are depressing land value. They have been methodically depressing the value of the land they want to buy since 2001. Thanks Gov. George Ryan! They have coerced innocent people by scaring them into believing they had no other choice but to sell to the state.

    This stupid state's ploy to destroy neighborhoods, is doing nothing but depressing the value of the properties even more.

    I think that Illinois officials are out of ideas on how to spend people's money, so they finally decided to throw it on such a useless initiative.

      Excellent observation, but I have to disagree. I have never known them to give up on what they see as a WORTHy (to their pay-to-play nature, that is) cause.

      I do not know of any other source that provides a more comprehensive study of the FACTS behind this proposal. There is however, plenty of government propaganda to sing the praises of this project. My suggestion is simply, google it. With all the years this has been in the planning stages, there is plenty of information available.

      Thanks for the comment.
