Ald. Bill Conway stumbles across Mayor Johnson’s plan to build $50M Greyhound station – Chicago Sun-Times

What concerns Conway is the fact that the mayor’s office “thinks it’s OK to spend $50 million” on a new Greyhound station “at a time when we’re asking for more in taxes and fees amid rising costs and not implementing some of the efficiencies identified in the Ernst & Young report.”

Maybe Greyhound has dropped a few extra dog biscuits in the pockets of Chicago and Cook County politicians.

Hopefully if the station ever gets finished, the posturing Conway can grab the inaugural first bus out of town.

Johnson needs to cut spending, not add to it.

Why hasn’t Greyhound built its own station and why would the public fund it?

Greyhound previously built their own station, vacating it when the company was sold.
