Hmmm, I wonder how many of those were city workers? I heard on WGN news that the contracts had already been given out, so black Chicago was scheduled to be overlooked as always. Glad we lost the bid! Now come February 2011, Chicagoans can participate in a different Olympic game by skiing, skating, boxing, running, jumping and whatever else to the polls and elect a new mayor!
