| On the night of March 31 Mayor
Richard M. Daley, like a terrorist in the night, brought in bulldozers and
carved large "X’s" into the runway leaving 16 airplanes stranded and many
people out of a job. As of now FOM (Friends of Meigs) and AOPA have a temporary restraining order on the city of Chicago. There will be a hearing on April 16th to determine the fate on Meigs Field.

| This is a very ironic quote that was stated by
Daniel H. Burnham in his Plan of Chicago in 1909:
"The fine arts of traffic management should be studied no less than the fine arts of parks and boulevards; for unless Chicago keeps ahead of her rivals in commercial matters, the parks will become pastures, and the boulevards will be deserted."

| Mayor
Richard Daley,
I am personally shocked and appalled by your recent actions against the citizens of the United States. You call yourself an American. The US soldiers are dying to protect our freedom and you sneak behind the back of the democratic ways of the US and like a terrorist in the night destroy apart of America’s framework. You are a typical politician; people like you are the type who threatens the foundation of this FREE democratic country (and the democratic way of getting things done). Your word and honor can no longer be trusted. You not only hurt the pilots but also yourself. Meigs field has an amazing sentimental value to the pilots of the world and in return brings great economical benefits to your city. I am a member of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and along with the other 390,000 pilots am very disappointed in your terrorist act. As Bush stated "We will defeat terrorism" and that includes you and your selfish, self centered, and un-honorable actions. You are no gentleman Jeff
