JJ Jr. as congresscritter of the 2nd,<br /><br />Why not a Kennedy scion? That'll make it all kosher.Rehctawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995444077162800445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-65501992763678651442009-05-26T20:18:50.296-05:002009-05-26T20:18:50.296-05:00Paging Cool Hand Luke at the Courtesy Phone....Paging Cool Hand Luke at the Courtesy Phone....chautauquanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-77551624129726964022009-05-26T12:38:21.161-05:002009-05-26T12:38:21.161-05:00Seems like a well organized civil-disobedience act...Seems like a well organized civil-disobedience action is in order.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-58338692656092209162009-05-26T08:40:44.577-05:002009-05-26T08:40:44.577-05:00Me too, Tan.

What will happen to THEM now?<br /><br />Since the Midway Airport deal evaporated and the Chicago Skyway deal's principals have exercised their revenue renegotiation option and the O'Hare concessions deal has somehow LOST money...<br /><br />Volpe's no genius. The Reader's source just didn't want to credit Richie Rich with actually coming up with AN idea.<br /><br />Daley's question to Volpe was "Okay, so NOW how do we nickel and dime the good people of Chicaga for another Billion$$$?<br /><br />Volpe had just received his bag of swag from his guy in the meter department...<br /><br />BINGO!<br /><br />Richard M.

This in effect, is a new TAX on the people, a new tax on the people that comes without the benefit of representation. Likewise, by leasing out the parking meters to the financials,it gives them the unfettered ability to manipulate the TAX paid on using the service. <br /><br />Every time the government defers (or sells) its power to the highest bidder, it's simply giving someone else the power to TAX the people without representation of regulation.<br /><br />And this is what the republicans would call "freedom".anna missedhttp://annamissed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-81511965719276627922009-05-23T10:21:25.853-05:002009-05-23T10:21:25.853-05:00You crack my ass up.
