Cabbies Push For Fare Hike
Chicago cabdrivers again pitched to aldermen the need for a 22 percent fare hike to offset rising costs and city fees. They say are squeeezing them to the point of destition.The last fare increase for Chicago cabs was in 2005. That would increase the cost to start a ride from $2.25 to $2.75.
Norma Reyes, Commissioner of the city Dept. of Business Afffairs and Consumer Protection opposes any rate increase. The city enacted a taxi fuel surcharge of up to $1.00 in 2008, tied to the cost of gas.
Reyes said her department would work with cab companies to introduce more fuel efficent vehicles rather than passing more costs on to consumers.
Most cab drivers don't deserve a fare hike. There are drivers that will take out of your way, so that they can make more money on the fare box. For the average consumer, that can be an extra $3 to $5 dollars. Most drivers speed, don't use turn signals, make illegal turns and don't obey the traffic lights. They are terrible drivers, maybe if they would drive better and a safer manner, they may get better tips. Then there be no need for a fare hike.

Back when the country was being run by a guy who pronounce those most dangerous weapons "Nuclear '' Valerie Plane Wilson was revealed as a CIA agent by a leak in Washington,'' Fair Game'' looks at how Plames exposure may have been connected to her husband ambassador Joe Wilson and his attempt to expose President Bush's claims about Iraq's weapons and capability as misformation. Now made into a movie by Valerie Plame Wilsson and Directed Doug Liman. Valerie Plame will be played by Naomi Watts and Joe Wilson will be played by Sean Penn.
I think this is going to be a very interesting movie because it's based on a true story and how our own president lied to us . Till this day there hasn't been any nuclear weapons found. I will be going to go see this movie.

DANGER DRINKS?
Chicago has entered a fray because caffeinated and alcoholic drinks were debate. Four Loko is a 23.5 ounce beverage in a can that contains the equal amount of four or more beers. Alderman has made a proposal to ban the caffeinated alcoholic drinks. The beverages are dangerous for young adults. The drink would be banned everywhere in the city. Colleges and Universities across the nation report health problems caused by the drink. Four Loko made by phusion projects a company in Chicago that started five years ago. Ohio State University graduates got the idea from watching people at bars mixing liquor with energy drinks.
In my opinion about Four Loko should be removed from the liquor store and other stores. Four Loko was dangerous for young people. It is also toxic for anybody. However, caffeine and alcohol don’t mix together.

Nifty: Kennedy turns 50
The Northwest Expressway was by William Stratton, Major Richard J Daley, and country Board President Dan Ryan. Three years later the expressway was renamed under President Kennedy’s name, a week after he was killed in November 22, 1963. He took $232.3 million to construct the Kennedy express. Daley transformed a small suburban orchard field to one of the bus lest airports O’Hare. Joseph Schieterman added two reversible lanes to Kennedy express.
In my opinion this is the best construction that Daley made years ago. Kennedy express was made 50 years ago. The Kennedy express was building and opened in Nov 5, 1960. The 50th anniversary was celebrated this Friday, November 7, 2010
HALLOWEEN TRAGEDY

Halloween Tragedy
Megan Duskey was a Chicago school teacher, and a group of girlfriends had scored tickets to a sold-out Haunted Hotel Ball at the Palmer House Hilton. Duskey,23,and her friends were there half an hour when she playfully attempted to slide down a banister rail and fell four stories to her death. Duskey and her group, which included a cousin, a college roommate and other close friends. Duskey taught special education classes at Bright Elementary School, 10740 S. Calhoun Ave.
I think people can't always control, some ones actions. I don't know if alcohol had anything to do with it or she was just playing when she fell. the hotel should have a safe guard like a safety net for the stairs, so that people won't try to slide down the handrails.
