Cancino returned to ABC7 Saturday to share their findings.
Editor's Note: Chicago's Department of Aviation, which oversees O'Hare and Midway airports, says the expansion project known as "O'Hare 21" will not be paid for by Chicago taxpayers. A spokesperson says "The CDA independently manages both... airports as Enterprise Funds, segregated and separate from all other City funds - no local or state tax dollars are part of our budget. All major capital improvement projects at Chicago's airports are also financed without the use of city and/or state tax revenues. Funding for these projects comes from airline-backed bonds, Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs), Customer Facility Charges (CFCs) and Federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds."
