    Lets say they get this, more than half would go into the dirty pocketts of city government, not to mention what the state would take. All in all the city it self might get 100 million.

    The largest patronage opportunity ever for the Daley adm. The inability to provide even the most basic city services, such as a safe, decent education for the children of Chicago proves how wrong the direction of the city has gone. How will the games help here, and what guarantees do ordinary citizens have?

    Get rid of all these overpaid, underworked patronage bums at the CTA, CHA, CBOE, City Hall. Most of all, get rid of the king of bums! Richard "Moron" Daley
    These idiots couldn't hold down even the most menial job in the private sector but they go into government and flourish!
    Throw them all out!

    The safety of any well hated people (i.e. people of color, transfolk, genderqueers, prostitutes, etc.) well be challenged even more with increased police force from the games. FUCK THE OLYMPICS

    However if Chicago gets it's Olympic bid, their local economy would flourish making all three possible. In order to get that nod they show they have an efficient transportation system, so option two is already out. However the risk is worth the effort. Also if the Olympics come to Chicago, I would be able to go, so I guess I'm kind of biased.
