I heard about this situation a couple years ago and thought it sounded like a terrible deal for Chicago. Turns out it's even worse than I thought! Hopefully the city can find some way to mitigate the damage caused by it.
I was living in Chicago at the time. Everyone knew it was a terrible deal but Mayor Daley ruled the city with an iron fist and did whatever he wanted.
