As a Chicago native, this gives me no end of amusement.
Richie Daley's father would never have fallen for this. He'd send the Building inspectors to that company's offices every 4 hours, finding a new and very serious violation each time. Or something.
- scheme271 3y agoDaley didn't get fleeced. It was a sweetheart deal since he and his allies got a bunch of stuff from CPM and friends. It was the taxpayers that got fleeced.

Daley bulldozed the runway at Meigs Airfield in the dead of night. https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/3/31/23662485/miegs-field-airport-mayor-richard-daley-bulldozed-notherly-island-plane-march-2003 https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/3/31/23662485/miegs-field-...

- kodt 3y agoI don't think he could send building inspectors to Saudi Arabia.
