Read a portion of the press release issued by the City of Chicago on 3/31/03,
when Mayor Richard Daley closed HIS downtown airport known as Meigs Field:
The Mayor acknowledged that he favors replacing Meigs Field with a park.
"Yes, I do want a park at Meigs Field," he said, adding that "the reason we
closed the airport now, was the fears -- shared by the Park District, our
emergency management specialists and myself * about all those airplanes coming
so close to so many people."
He added: "As Mayor of the City of Chicago, public safety is one of my primary
responsibilities, and I take it very seriously. I am not willing to wait for a
tragedy to happen here before making the tough decisions."
