South suburban officials are touting new legislation in a bid to get Gov. J.B. Pritzker to support the proposed South Suburban Airport. If approved, a bill introduced Thursday would require the state to issue a request for quotations, or RFQ, to gauge interest from private investors seeking to develop the so-called third airport proposed for land near Peotone and Monee. The state has spent about $100 million since 2002 to acquire more than 4,500 acres for the airport.
What a great idea! Hmmm…….wait a second, the last airport they built Mid America in Belleville has zero scheduled flights; zero. The only runway use comes from the Air Force.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

Exactly, the third airport is nothing more than a union billing boondoogle to last a generation.
