TRANS, Harmon sponsors bill to privatize Midway

I don't know how I feel about the underlying policy of leasing infrastructure now while foregoing future revenue. However....

Senator Don Harmon has been tapped to sponsor the legislation. See Chicago Tribune (Gary Washburn and Ray Long with Laurie Cohen).

Daley's people could have tapped any number of legislators to sheperd the bill. Daley or his team picked Harmon. To me this says they big fish see Harmon as a highly capable legislator.
