4. Ratigan is running a 3 part series on this privatization going on
in the states. Today he covered Mayor Daleys selling
the parking meters to Wall St. In some spots one hour
parking now costs you, the taxpayer, 20 quarters or
FIVE Dollars (one hour). He sold the meters for1.1
billion dollars. Wall ST Company will make at least
Ten Billion. Once the billion is gone, no more income
for Chicago. People are protesting in the streets.

Irony. Wall St threw us into the crisis with high unemployment.
No Jobs means no tax money coming into State. Wall Street
show up --we will help you out of your deficit(states). We
will buy your water, toll roads , parking meters, prisons.
Once again they stick it Main Street.
