Editorial: When will the ghost of the Peotone airport folly finally stop haunting Illinois? – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo

"There’s not a talisman or incantation in the world that can ward off the persistence of the Peotone pipe dream. It keeps coming back, even after the airlines have said thanks but no thanks again and again, even after hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars have disappeared into the fantasy airport’s rabbit hole."

The Peotone airport goes away when the politicians who bought up the land for and around this future airport find a sucker who will take this farmland off their greedy little hands. See I355 land deals for reference…

I was going to make a very similar comment, I think that is spot on. It wouldn’t surprise me if they move forward until the insiders sell out and then they’ll cancel the project.

Never, Illinois does not care about taxpayers’ money. They have shown this time and time again.
