Subject: [MBZ] For you Chicago area residents
FAA SLAPS CHICAGO IN FINAL MEIGS DECISION
As a result of AOPA's complaint, Chicago will pay a $33,000 fine for
illegally tearing up Meigs Field without proper notification. And
the city will have to repay $1 million of airport funds that Mayor
Richard M. Daley illegally diverted from O'Hare and Midway airports
to give to the destruction contractors. And with the more than $550,000
the city has already spent attempting to fight the fine and repayment,
hapless Chicago taxpayers are out close to $1.6 million, and they've
lost a world-class airport that generated $57 million a year in economic
activity for the city. The FAA announced the final settlement with the
city Monday. The city admitted no wrongdoing. This sends a clear signal
to other cities that the FAA is serious about upholding its regulations
and that AOPA is serious about holding everyone's feet to the fire when
it comes to protecting airports, said AOPA President Phil Boyer. AOPA
filed the original complaints that resulted in the fine and fund
repayment.
Many of us always thought that the civil penalty of $1,100 per day was
'chump change' to a city with the budget of Chicago, said Boyer. But
whether he admits it or not, it shows that Daley violated FAA
regulations
and could have put aircraft at risk. And for the future, it won't be
chump change. That's because after Meigs, AOPA successfully lobbied
Congress
to increase the fine to $10,000 per day, to make it much more painful
for
another city to attempt a midnight airport raid. Notice of the proposed
closure must also be published in the Federal Register.
