There is a taxiway that any decent pilot can take off from. Friends, it's the Enron etc. jets that this airport served. It is a very small airport and making this area a part of the museum campus and park that is there already will be a good thing, not a bad thing. If 70% of the people are against this taking of the airport, well, so be it. It's still wrong to have an airport there. No, that isn't democratic, but so be it. It is still the right thing to do. The people elected Richard Daley to act in their interest and he has done just that even though they're too whatever to see that fact.

For those that don't have the chops to take off from the taxiway, Daley said he will pay for the moving of their planes.
