He will no doubt lose, unfortunately. His land (farm) will be condemned and taken away from him. The city of Chicago is already taking over properties and tearing down homes in the nearby suburb of Bensenville to expand the O'Hare Airport against Bensenville's will. The city of Chicago just won a lawsuit like two days ago to move a huge cemetary, I believe also in Bensenville to expand O'Hare Airport. In Chicago, along Lake Michigan, there is this huge park called Grant Park where the wording in Chicago's charter from day one says that none of that property can ever be built on ever, yet there's a huge fight going on down at its city hall because the Mayor is going (or wants) to allow the Museum District to build a "child's museum" there, which is only a guise to allow future building once this museum sets precident. And one of the biggest of them all? In the middle of the night a few years ago, the Mayor of Chicago literally sent bulldozers into the Meigs Field Airport along the lake and tore up the runways leaving planes stranded or with an extemely short runway to get out of there because the Mayor's wife didn't like the distraction of having planes block her view of Lake Michigan. That airport was under state of Illinois and FAA jurisdiction, and is now known as "Maggie's Park", after the Mayor's wife Maggie Daley. I do a lot of work in Illinois and get to hear the news pretty much.
I wish the guy success, but if I were him, I'd kind of be looking for somewhere else to go, or at least looking over my shoulder at all times. Can't mess with Chicago's Mayor Daley and win. It just don't happen.

I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
