Big surprise out of Daleytown... Back in 2004, Daley was against the Olympics, and now that there won't be any, all the warts are sprouting. This ties in with your take> Message 25990624 In August 2004, Daley was busy ridiculing the idea of a Chicago Olympics. "The Olympics is a construction industry," he told the Rotary Club. "They wanted $2 million from me just to make a proposal! They want to build everything new." ________________ And if Daley doesn't get the Olympics -- if the IOC chooses Rio, Tokyo or Madrid -- don't be surprised if this becomes the mayor's last term. Because, after a 20-year spending spree, the money is finally gone. Daley is now so desperate for cash that he allowed parking meter rates to be increased, knowing there would be a public backlash.
