AN ALTERNATE PASSENGER AIRPORT. 

02:21.133 --> 02:30.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%

02:48.333 --> 02:58.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THEY HOST  THE LARGEST INLAND

02:58.500 --> 03:07.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
FACILITY CENTERS NEARBY.  THE  

03:02.366 --> 03:08.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
LOCAL CHAMBER SAY THAT  THE  

03:04.500 --> 03:09.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AIRPORT IS A NATURAL FIT AND IT 

03:07.233 --> 03:11.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%

 PROPERTY TAXES .  MUCH LIKE 

03:21.800 --> 03:30.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
O'HARE AIRPORT DOES.   

03:24.700 --> 03:33.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
ADDITIONALLY, THIS AIRPORT   

03:27.166 --> 03:35.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
WILL BRING JOBS  BACK TO  

03:30.766 --> 03:38.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
AMERICA AND  RETAIN JOBS IN 

03:33.166 --> 03:40.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ILLINOIS.  BUT CRITICS SAY EVEN 

03:35.633 --> 03:45.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
IF  ILLINOIS PURSUES THE  

03:38.633 --> 03:46.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ADDITIONAL AIRPORT,  THE STATES 

03:40.300 --> 03:47.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
WILL FIND NO NEED FOR IT.  

03:45.500 --> 03:48.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> IT WAS FIRST PROPOSED AS A  

03:46.766 --> 03:49.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
SOLUTION TO THE FACT THAT WE  

03:47.733 --> 03:52.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
COULD NOT EXPAND O'HARE  

03:48.400 --> 03:53.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
AIRPORT. THEM EXPANDED IT.  

03:49.266 --> 03:56.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THEN, THEY DECIDED  WE NEEDED A 

03:52.033 --> 03:57.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
NEW PASSENGER FACILITY FOR THE  

03:53.933 --> 04:00.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
SOUTH SUBURBS,  BUT THE  

03:56.533 --> 04:03.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AIRLINES SHOWED ZERO INTEREST.  

03:57.766 --> 04:06.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
SO NOW  IT IS A SOLUTION TO THE 

04:00.966 --> 04:07.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
AIR CARGO PROBLEMS.  WE DON'T  

04:03.133 --> 04:10.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
HAVE AIR CARGO PROBLEMS.  WE  

04:06.266 --> 04:17.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
HAVE O'HARE AIRPORT, WE HAVE  

04:07.700 --> 04:18.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
ROCKFORD, AND WE HAVE  GARY.

>> HE SAID  IT DOES NOT MAKE  

04:17.166 --> 04:19.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
SENSE TO EXPAND ALL THE THINGS  

04:18.166 --> 04:21.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
NEEDED TO CREATE A COMMERCIAL  

04:18.933 --> 04:22.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
CENTER IN WHAT HE CALLS THE  

04:19.866 --> 04:27.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%

WHO IS OPPOSED TO IT . IS  

04:27.200 --> 04:30.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
CURRENTLY AGRICULTURAL LAND AND 

04:27.966 --> 04:33.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
HER LAND IS IN THE MIDDLE OF

THE PROPERTY THAT WOULD BECOME  

04:30.300 --> 04:38.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THE AIRPORT.  THEY SAY THIS  

04:33.666 --> 04:42.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
HOLE IDEA  WOULD BE A WASTE OF  

04:37.066 --> 04:46.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
TAXPAYER MONEY  AND ROOTED  

04:38.400 --> 04:47.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
SOLELY IN POLITICS .  AND  

04:42.666 --> 04:53.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
SUPPORTERS SAY  IT IS  ROOTED
