Thanks for the wonderful summary you'...Carol, <br /><br />Thanks for the wonderful summary you've created here of the airport ordeal. You are all too correct in stating the residents of eastern Will county do not feel and pity for Jackson. They actual are pleased that he may be serving jail time.<br /><br />One would think that a voter would stop and ask themselves, "Why is it that the politicians that many of the politicians who promoted building an airport in Peotone are currently serving time in jail?" The answer is easy - follow the money. I'd guess if one took the time to check the Illinois State Board of Elections website you'd find the link in their campaign contributions.<br /><br />Peotone was and still is a politically driven project - one of promise to those suffering in poor communities for long desired jobs to the unemployed union employees looking for employment opportunities. In the background of that and missed by much of the media are the forgotten ones, the landowners and farmers who have been held hostage with an uncertain future. Their land sought after and their personal lives harassed by IDOT consultants and threats of eminent domain these forgotten families pay the biggest price.<br /><br />After 40+ years there are only losers in the desire to build an airport near Peotone; the unemployed, the landowners, the taxpayer.<br /><br />So who are the winners? The politicians who push the project, line their pockets and move on to a bigger political position.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831933038820024832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308130969045295439.post-54814160945213597862012-11-16T12:31:55.608-06:002012-11-16T12:31:55.608-06:00anyone that voted for him should not be allowed to...anyone that voted for him should not be allowed to vote during the special election Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13536972654459669293noreply@blogger.com
