Daley keeps changing Commissioners of Aviation because he doesn’t want anyone who knows what they are doing to know what they (the Daley administration) are doing, if you know what I mean.
He has appointed the lamest Commissioner he could find since he had to throw Loney out because she didn’t go along with the boys. He learned his lesson and won’t jeopardize this cash cow again with any possible good government types-ignorance is bliss for an Aviation Commissioner.

Great Kass piece on Rap Mogul Rudolph “King Rudy” Acosta’s castle on a northwest side bungalow street.
For a guy who seems to operate outside the mainstream, he seems to have clout.

I’m familiar with the botteneck created by Northfield intransigence on the widening of Willow Road. Northfield politicans and residents deserve to be beat into submission for the greater good/public benefit. Frankly, this widening project should have been completed long ago when the Gleview Naval Air station was redeveloped. Schoenberg did the right thing from a public policy standpoint.

Mayor Daley defends William Ayers ? What more does one need to figure out where Daley’s heart lies?
