Aero-News Quote of the Day
"If people want to criticize me for standing up to the
Chicago Daley machine and fighting for the people of Bensenville,
so be it, but I know I would never accept support from any group
that wasn't protecting Bensenville. Bensenville is my home: I was
born here; I was raised here; and I will die here. I will fight to
protect this town with every inch of my fiber. Soto and his
supporters clearly don't feel the same."
Source: John Geils, President of the Village of
Bensenville, IL. A letter from the Chicago and Cook County Building
and Construction Trades Council recently sent to voters in DuPage
County has called on union members to support the candidacy of
Frank Soto for Village President of the Chicago suburb. In
something of an odd campaign strategy, the letter criticized Geils
for opposing the O'Hare Modernization Program (OMP)... which
has led to nearly 600 homes in Bensenville being leveled so far,
and also threatens to uproot a historic cemetery in the area.
