City requests hearing on FAA fine over Meigs
September 22, 2005 - The city of Chicago has requested a hearing to challenge a $33,000 fine imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration for Chicago's late-night demolition of Meigs Field.
The FAA says the hearing requested yesterday will be held before an administrative law judge at the U-S Department of Transportation.
A date for the hearing hasn't yet been set. City Corporation Counsel Mara Georges says the city's unannounced bulldozing of the runway at the lakefront airport was justified to protect the downtown from a possible terrorist attack.

Mayor Richard Daley ordered the demolition and crews began bulldozing the airport's only runway late at night on March 30th, 2003.
The move was done without FAA approval. And FAA officials say Chicago was required to give the agency 30-days notice before it shut down Meigs Field. (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
