10. Daley's support of Gary is a red herring. A ruse. A bribe.

Daley would only support tranferring cargo flights to Gary "if" he gets the funding to expand O'Hare. Daley would rather put his support behind an airport in Indiana than give up big $$$$ for O'Hare. He gave Gary a small percentage of the passenger facility charges from O'Hare and Midway so that he could say, "See, we're already investing in a third airport. Now give the money for the O'Hare expansion."
It's pure politics.
The picture that you attached is misleading. Anyone who has ever driven from NW Indiana to downtown using either the Skyway or the Bishop Ford knows what a mess it is. Even the South Shore line is antiquated.
I'd much rather drive downtown from Peotone than to come in from Indiana any day. Even using the IC from Peotone would be a breeze compared to coming in from Indiana.
Rockford? Those people are already served by O'Hare. Why the need for 2 airports to the northwest of Chicago?
