City budget deficit!

This time the project shortfall is $650 million. Is it real or just another attempt to get the unions to make concessions? If it is real, why then do city contracts still go out to the likes of E&J Towing or Freddy Barbra? What really happened with that sale of parking meters? Did any Daley relatives take a  brokerage fee off the top? Just asking. Which Daley relative owns a large chunk of Standard Parking Inc.

Is he planning on selling Midway Airport? What will be the ramifications of such a sale on future users of the airport? Will any alderman ask before casting their vote? What about a possible sale of the Chicago water system? Sewer system? Maybe even Western Ave? 

How do you feel about this issue?
