EVENT TIMELINE
December 2000
O’Hare Timeline Events:
- The
Tribune reports that the
election of Bush has changed the “clout” structure of
Illinois: “Hastert in, Daley Out … No longer can Daley
lean on a Democratic Administration to push the city’s political
agenda or put a big
bureaucratic roadblock in the way of Republican plans to build an airport
in Peotone … Rep. Lipinski, already a key player in the 22-member
delegation, enjoys the confidence of Hastert and could find his role as a
broker for the city enhanced.” (Chicago Tribune, 12/16/00)
