Yeah, I thought it was a weird thing to come from the Feds, unfunded, at this time. I don't blame Daley one bit for being irritated by it.

I agree with the water tower/garden hose comparison someone else posted. Even if the river is perfect, it will always be overshadowed by the Lake. There's nothing wrong with that, though.

The River will continue to improve, and may even become a great aspect of Chicago, but it will never eclipse the Lake.

I think a smarter move by Daley would have been to say "sure - show me the money" and to put the ball in the Fed's court. If they can give billions to shady banks they can clean our river, consarnit.
