Now that's an easy answer. It was the People of Chicago that didn't want it. And to a certain extent, money. That's right, the Mayor could not come up with the "Front-Money" the Olympics demanded. Had the Mayor swiped a little more from the taxpayers, this would not be a pretty place to hold an Olympic event.

One can envision the people out on the streets with pitch-forks had the Mayor taken a little more funds from the taxpayers. The polls conducted by both newspapers, showed a majority of citizens were dead against holding the event.

The people's main concern here in Chicago, are jobs, and the escalating violence amongst our young people. It wasn't "politics", or a "dull pitch". It was all about what the people of Chicago wanted.

Now that the Mayor is back in town, he has to address our concerns on jobs, and the senseless violence. With his little fancy dream vanquished, there's no hiding, or any more excuses for trips out of town. It's time to roll up the sleeves and figure out how to get our money back that he squandered fixing up a park where no Olympic event is being held. I just hope he doesn't sell that property to a parking company.
