State Senator Rickey Hendon announced at a press conference Oct. 4 that he's introduced a resolution to reopen Meigs Field, a small downtown airport closed by outgoing Mayor Daley in a midnight bulldozer raid. The FAA said that Chicago was wrong to close it, and many state legislators felt the same way, Rickey said.
As the mainstream media continue to blather about Rahm Emanuel, Rickey continues to bring up real Chicago issues . He points out that the number of candidates for mayor will be whittled down in the petitioning process.
If you vote in Chicago and are undecided about the mayoral race, it's ok... you can sign petitions for more than one candidate for any office: Rickey Hendon, Fioretti, DelValle, Rev. Meeks, Danny Davis, Dock Walls...whoever! Petition deadline is in late November. Candidates must get the signatures of 12,500 registered voters to get on the ballot.
Don't forget, the election for mayor and other city candidates is February. On Nov. 2, Illinois voters elect a U.S. Senator , governor and lieutenant governor, along with state reps and many state senators. Rickey urges all to get out and vote Democratic! If times are bad now, they could only get worse under Republican leadership, he says.
