Scott Fitzgerald: “Absolutely. This was an issue when I was in the State senate in every election. Right prior to my going into the State…”

On the recordDecember 7, 2001
Absolutely. This was an issue when I was in the State senate in every election. Right prior to my going into the State senate, the city of Chicago at that time did not propose expanding O'Hare. They proposed a third airport in the south part of Chicago in the Lake Calumet area. Mayor Daley supported building a third airport at that time, but the Illinois General Assembly did not approve that plan because they favored the site in Peotone. Since that time, because this third airport would not be within his political jurisdiction, Mayor Daley has fought the south suburban airport and worked toward just expanding O'Hare. That way, in my judgment, it would keep all aviation within the city limits of the city of Chicago.
