The third airport needs to be Gary. We can let him think he&#39;ll get another airport, but Gary makes more sense.

The Illiana Expressway is all about that third airport Illinois wants to build out in the corn fields near Peotone. Gary R.

Illiana will be an economic driver for NW Indiana, and Rauner is trying to keep all the business on his side of the State Line.<br /><br />Chicago expressways are cramped and underbuilt. Illinois is at the top of states shedding population. Driving even a few miles in Chicago can take a very painful hour.<br /><br />Good roads are a quality of life issue. The real money savings in Illinois will come from defaulting on police pensions. We&#39;ll see if Rauner has the guts to go after the greatest source of bloat in the budget.<br /><br />Illinois taxpayers should not be on the hook for a comfortable lifetime income for Illinois&#39; meter maids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
