Voices Speak Out on H-F Patch

. The congressman gave his opinion what the long-talked-about airport site in Peotone means for March 20. Here's what some of our readers had to say in response:

  • : "This is all he can come up with? Stick a fork in it, Jesse, you are done."
  • : "Yes, the ALNAC plan for expansion makes more sense, depending on the parameters it sets up as triggers. And I agree with him that expansion shouldn't have to do with whoever is on county board at that time. However, I still can't stand the idea of this airport in the first place."
  • : "In my opinion, March 20th. should be a referendum, Congressman Jackson. Not only about 'Airport Governance,' Congressman, but how you 'govern' yourself, and your 'governance' of the years you have spent in Congress. I have thought as 'Hrm' expresses above, this is what we are to judge your career to date with? You are asking for support, for something You 'say' you are going to do? I would prefer to be advised about, 'what have you done for us lately?'"
  • : "Economic development in the south suburbs should focus on retooling the old smokestack facilities into "green" facilities. The area could have recycling, then remanufacturing, all in one area. While I like the idea of a major airport in the south, I just don't think it is going to happen. No politician has done anything for me lately."
