Daley, Bush to talk over Olympic bid
January 6, 2008
When President Bush hits town Monday, Mayor Daley plans to huddle with him about the city's bid for the 2016 Olympics.
Bush is coming here Monday to visit a school and speak on the economy, the mayor said Saturday. But Daley also plans to talk to Bush about the new runways going in at O'Hare Airport and Chicago's bid for the Olympics.
Daley said any city hosting such an event needs the federal government's help in transportation and security.
"We are going to make sure we are working with both our senators, the Illinois delegation and making sure that America truly wants to host this wonderful International Olympic and para-Olympic event," Daley said.
