Jiblog supports a potential Chicago bid for the 2016 Olympics

I'm going to go on the record now as being fully supportive of a Chicago bid for the 2016 Olympics. Although I infrequently get there, I enjoy visiting Chicago. I'd look forward to attending a world class event there, and I think it would showcase the entire Milwaukee-Chicago corridor. Also, and I known some of my conservative bretheren will roll their eyes at this, a regional effort would create infrastructure that would tie the region more tightly together and economically benefit the entire area. I think Milwaukee can only benefit from closer ties with its neighbor to the south, and the bulk of the investment in this instance would be made by Chicago and the State of Illinois.
