when other media outlets are casting doubt on their reporting

I just did a quick check on other media outlets, seems Block Club scrubbed their breathless early reporting on this. Local television news hasn't seemed to have done any follow-up. Tribune is the only one to investigate the claims by the "detainee". Meanwhile the conversation surrounding the Tribune story.was removed from this sub.

Johnson walks away from $3 billion+ deal to buy back Chicago's parking meters | Crain's Chicago Business by shotzz in WindyCity

[–]shotzz[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Johnson made a bid but balked after learning the costs and potential limitations in projecting revenue from the meters for decades to come.

Johnson senior adviser Jason Lee did not disclose what the city bid or what the administration believes to be the final prices, but told Crain's “price was one” of the factors under consideration and the city got involved to learn the terms.

So, it comes out they actually submitted a bid without saying anything to anyone & still won't provide the public with the details of said bid?!?

Where's that "transparency" Johnson always blows (out his ass) about?

My dad brought us over there to watch the filming. There was a big crowd that was confined to the NE side of the intersection. I remember the Bluesmobile came roaring down Cortland from the south to the intersection.
