The city was fined for not filling the appropriate notice to airmen. Beyond
that, there wasnâ??t anything criminal about it. The city owns the property,
and can do what it likes with it. Worst case someone had some civil claims
against the city for violating a lease or other contract, but again thatâ??s
not criminal. I am no fan of Daley, but he was right on that.
Meigs was ugly, loud, and not used by Chicagoans. It was a subsidized private
airport, used exclusively by private planes. The current use as a park and
concert venue is much better, and enjoyed by vastly more people.
