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.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
