Mayor Daley lied and said that the U.S. Homeland Security approved that he close Meigs Field airport for security reasons.

After Meigs Field was closed, Daley called on city workers to "sneak" onto the airport one night while the people of Chicago were asleep, and he had the runway of the airport destroyed.

Weeks later, Meigs Field supporters discovered that the head of the U.S. Homeland Security agency never approved that Meigs Field be closed. Mayor Daley then later admitted that he "lied".

I would like to go on record to say that I don't think this is the only thing Mayor Daley is lying about. His administration has destroyed thousands of Chicago homes. Mayor Daley and his administration, also lies year after year about the contracts that women and minorities are to win with the City of Chicago. I can go on and on about their lying.
