He's a miracle man! Mayor Rahm Emanuel finds A QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS from our broke city for Midway Airport corrupt overpriced construction contracts to insiders

Two years after pulling the plug on a deal to privatize Midway Airport, Mayor Rahm Emanuel is taking the airport’s future into his “own hands” by confronting Midway’s biggest weaknesses and passenger annoyances: parking, security and concessions.

On Thursday, Emanuel took the wraps off a $248 million overhaul that will give Midway 1,400 more premium parking spaces, a Taste-of-Chicago-style concession makeover with more space and 27 security lanes, instead of 17, to unclog a notorious passenger bottleneck.

The dramatic increase in security checkpoints would be made possible by widening a pedestrian bridge over Cicero Avenue  — from 60 feet to 300 feet. That will create an 80,000-square-foot “security hall” with 20,000 square feet of additional concession space.
