Isn't that the idea behind good reporting? I suggest all who oppose get THEIR FACTS STRAIGHT...half the reason people oppose the Olympics is because they have the wrong information. Check out the website. It is not PUBLIC money. Get informed before you argue. The Olympics will not only BOOST our economy, but give Chicago an international reputation which would increase tourism. Any surplus from the games will do just what the city is asking for...use the money for things to help out our city. This money is not disposable, it's privately funded and the company funding it is generous enough to not keep the profits for themselves. GET INFORMED. SUPPORT THE BID & LET COLUMBIA SHOW THAT THEY SUPPORT CHICAGO. Join the march this Friday @ 8 am in front of the 624 Michigan building! chicago2016.org Maybe instead of writing an article that is completely biased, you could ask the OTHER side what they think.
