He Can’t Even Get His Library Built Without Scandal

[longknife]

And it’s being stopped by residents who’re disgusted with the crap being pulled.


$10 for a 99-year lease on public property?

The Chicago Park District had begun felling trees on land destined to become part of the Obama Library complex, but those preparations ground to a halt Monday after the Chicago Department of Transportation refused to grant a permit that would have allowed the Park District to move utility lines running through the site. CDOT delayed a decision on the matter until after the Federal lawsuit and Federal assessments have been resolved.

Hearings on the lawsuit, which claims the Obama Library received unprecedented, and potentially illegal, assistance from the state of Illinois, and the city of Chicago, start Thursday. Plaintiffs claim that the Library is being granted part of historic Jackson Park -- a huge public green space designed by Frederick Olmsted (the same man who designed New York City's Cental Park, and dedicated for the people of Chicago's recreational use. They also say that plans to move two major arteries, that currently run across Jackson Park, will harm economic growth and isolate residents of Chicago's south side.


Don’t you think it’s time he slinks back into his DC lair to plot more disruption of the Trump administration?

The idea that no one using the Library will have to read. Nice for the one who can't.

 

[blastoff]

Build the damn thing in Hawaii. Count up the trips/vacations there for eight years vs. back to the hood in Chicago and it makes more sense IMO.

 

[Claudette]

His library will be going up in the greenway that people use to relax in??

What a POS. Build the damned thing in Hawaii. Let them put up with that shit.

 

[Claudette]

Oh and who the hell needs a library built with their name on it??

Oh I know other Presidents have had libraries built but I wonder why bother??

Ego much??

He could have it built somewhere in the vast Trump country wasteland that we call flyover country, where nobody would care. It's harder to get things built where people live.

I agree.

Chicago is a big city and I'm sure they have wooded open areas but why build a library where people walk, bike, picnic and enjoy the green areas in that concrete jungle??

Hell they would even have to move roadways.

Barry should build it in Hawaii if they let him and leave the greenways in and around Chicago alone.

That could be a small part of it, but it’s mostly for historians and academics that wish to study the history surrounding those particular presidents. It’s all apart of our shared history.

Yeah, wasteland. Few shootings, little crime, fresh air, intelligent people, etc. etc. etc. All things Chicago doesn't have.

It really isn't that difficult to get things built in major metro areas. The deal is absurd.

 

[DustyInfinity]

The 'flyover wasteland' is actually quite beautiful. Everything is green and you can light a match without burning your whole county down. Do you mean you hate nature? Do you hate the animals too? You'd be surprised how nice and polite flyover people are as well, but I guess that is not a valued trait.
