 Rev. Meeks puts fire to Olympic flame backers
September 13th, 2008 05:00 AM - State Sen. James Meeks (D-Chicago) on Friday pressured business leaders who have bankrolled Chicago's 2016 Olympic bid to put their money and political muscle behind a more important cause: improving public schools. Meeks showed up at a breakfast meeting of the Executives' Club of Chicago -- not to confront featured speaker and Chicago 2016 Chairman Pat Ryan, but to enlist Ryan's help in the battle to correct the school funding disparity between rich and poor districts.
