In somewhat surprising news, US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood told the Chicago Tribune that he has only spoken with Illinois Gov. Quinn once in regards to the proposed South Suburban Airport.

“Q: One local issue I can’t recall you ever addressing is the proposed south suburban airport near Peotone. Why?

A: You know why I haven’t talked about it? I talk about things that either the elected officials or the stakeholders have as their priorities. In the last 41/2 years, I’ve never had, except for maybe Jesse (Jackson) Jr. and Gov. Pat Quinn on one occasion, talk to me about the south suburban airport. I don’t know that it has been high up on a list of priorities for Illinois.”
