"Illinois Governor Pat Quinn has stated that this urban reserve will boost the economy and create hundreds of jobs. She is also hoping for some amount of private funding for the project. The Sierra club of Illinois released a statement saying that:
'The Millennium Reserve Plan represents the first viable, large-scale attempt to protect and enhance the Lake Calumet area through an integrated, cooperative approach to land and resource management.'"

Poor Journalism
If you would actually read what the Millennium Reserve Plan is, you would know the poster & article writer don't know what they're talking about.
With that said, it's good to see Chicago develop a comprehensive plan to connect existing parks & marginally increase parkland.
That's 'Mr.' Pat Quinn...
