Mayor Giarrante's trip to D.C.

Where did that lie about the mayor getting free gas come from? I have a pretty good idea that is a councilman who has been known to shoot off his mouth and then denies rhe he ever said it.  Who are these people who never have anything good to say about anything? They obviously know little or nothing about politics and or government. Any mayor who never leaves town to lobby for their city should not be the mayor. Do they have ay idea how many community's are competing for the same $? Have they seen the truck traffic on our interstates. Have they read the paper or the Patch and seen the opposition to Illiana freeway? Do they think that project isn't worth spending $1100.00 to have the Mayor meet face to face with US Senators and Representatives and or their senior staff in Washington DC. This is a major project for this area worth millions and millions of dollars and countless jobs. Not to mention the traffic overload it will help to relieve. Please get a life or at least get better informed.
