"The Chicago Transit Authority does not belong to Chicago.It was not created by Chicago. It is not a toy for Mayor Richard M. Daley or his political savants. It was created by and operates under state law. It serves not just Chicago, but also more than a couple dozen suburbs. Its governing board includes suburban representatives, albeit a minority of the total membership. It is fiscally responsible to the Regional Transportation Authority, another state-created agency.Yet, Mayor Daley's minions have been acting as if it is theirs. "
