| S.T.A.N.D. HOLDING DEMONSTRATION TODAY STAND (Shut This Airport Nightmare Down) will be holding a demonstration Monday, July 11, from 11 am to noon at the Tinley Park Convention Center where Governor Pat Quinn will be speaking to the South Suburban Chamber of Commerce. We have a large banner which reads “NO EMINENT DOMAIN AT PEOTONE” and demonstrators will have other signs. We will be at the entrance to the Convention Center, which is off 183rd Street, just east of Harlem. We want Governor Quinn to promise that the state will not use eminent domain to forcefully take people’s property for the proposed Peotone airport prior to the FAA deciding if an airport can be built. That decision is two years away. The state has already initiated eminent domain on a small number of properties and is threatening to do massive eminent domain condemnations soon. This is unfair to property owners and unfair to taxpayers who will pay for this property with borrowed money. For more information contact George Ochsenfeld at (708) 534-7319
