City Falls Short On Corporate Sponsorships

Crain's has an interesting read on the city's failure to secure corporate sponsorships in an effort to raise money. Nevermind that Mayor Daley has no qualms about leasing assets left and right (See: Midway and Parking Meters), he just can't get Coca-Cola to sign off on any city-wide deals. Corporate sponsorship has also been floated in regards to helping the CTA raise some funds, but not much happened from that proposed deal either. In the meantime, it seems the Mayor has no problem plastering his name everywhere.
