SOC is confident the planned timetable will be followed and the airport constructed and opened by 2009 (the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday). The Mayor reported DuPage County announced it would conduct a $400,000 study on the impact of O’Hare expansion on local communities.

Chicago - Mayor Johnson discussed headlines and front-page articles in today’s newspapers referencing federal charges of hiring fraud lodged against one of Mayor Daley’s City of Chicago’s administrative employees.
