Great Recession 4th of July

Dear Chicago,

As we are all aware the city is having some cash issues.  While selling off our public assets may raise funds it also raises eyebrows, as it should.  We propose to have the greatest 4th of July show ever, while saving the city tons of cash.  Let the masses of gases bonded by gravity be taken in by our eyes during their journey of billions of years be the show.  Only our brave Mayor Daley can pull it off, unplug the entire Midwest.  Let the stars shine and the Midwest blackout.  Let's not Rio De Janeiro out do us again.

Sincerely,
People Against Light Pollution
