There were rumors that Patty wanted him close to home, if you know what I mean. He's not even allowed to spend a night in Springfield.

I get out to Chicago quite a few times a year probably almost 5 times a year. Would it help for an out of towner non resident to tug on some of the big wigs ears? This really worries me because I am trying really really hard to convince the Mr. to move back out to Chicago, I'm from Seattle. First time in 2002 I was out in Chicago and I felt like I just came back home from a very long trip. I love it out there and wouldn't object to growing older out there either and I care about what's going on in the city. So yeah should I give those pansy butts down in Springfield a tongue lashing? Oh yeah I'll be more then happy to head down to Springfield when I am out there at the end of the month YOU WANT MY TAX MONEY? YOU WANT ME TO MOVE OUT THERE? FIX CTA PUNKS! Or maybe bribe them with some pizza or hot Italian beef samich
I wouldn't assume that the funding is on the way at all. The governor's 11th hour buffoonery may very well kill the entire bill. Further, if he does get his way, the CTA will get the money, but STILL have a fare increase because they can't afford all the free rides.
