Chicago's City Council has approved a settlement to claim some land near O'Hare International Airport. The City of Chicago finalized its negotiations with Bensenville earlier this week to take over more than 500 houses as part of an expansion project at O'Hare. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley says it's a good deal for the northwest suburb.
DALEY: All the property in and around O'Hare Field is always - all those suburban areas deal with future developments - it's very important for them, for their tax base and their jobs.
Daley says transportation is a major economic engine for Illinois. The City of Chicago settled with Bensenville for $16 million after years of legal challenges.
