Peloquin argued that the south suburbs are often shunned by the city (although Chicago is not bound or required to do anything for other municipalities) and he blamed the Chicago-centric policies of Cook County for failing to jumpstart the somewhat-depressed south suburban local economy. Pending sufficient interest from local communities, Peloquin planned a petition drive to place a question regarding the secession on the general election ballot, but the idea was not met with success.<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In arguing against the Lincoln County proposal, others noted several of the cities involved had power structures, law enforcement, or <i>de facto</i> "mayors for life" often accused in the press, or civilly or criminally charged with, <a href="/wiki/Political_corruption" title="Political corruption">political corruption</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cronyism" title="Cronyism">cronyism</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Nepotism" title="Nepotism">nepotism</a>, and themselves being the main factor in their depressed economies rather than anyone in Cook County government.

As the Midwest farms proved productive, with much grain to sell to other parts of the US, Chicago and Cook County saw the benefit of a canal to improve the link from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River. The <a href="/wiki/Illinois_and_Michigan_Canal" title="Illinois and Michigan Canal">Illinois and Michigan Canal</a> was completed in 1848, extending from the Bridgeport neighborhood in Chicago on the Chicago River, to the <a href="/wiki/Illinois_River" title="Illinois River">Illinois River</a> at the cities of LaSalle-Peru. This canal spurred the growth of Chicago and the areas around it, as water travel was the primary way to ship grain or other commodities in that part of the 19th century. The Illinois and Michigan Canal ceased major operation in 1933. Portions are now designated as a National Historic Corridor. The two canals and the Great Lakes cemented trade ties between the Midwest and the Northeast, encouraging farmers to grow more than they needed to feed themselves in Illinois, with a large market for grain now open to them. Towns in Cook County along the Canal grew. From a national perspective, the trade ties made the South region of the US less important to the Northeast as a trade partner. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Sanitary_and_Ship_Canal" title="Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal">Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal</a>, completed in 1900, largely replaced the functions of the Illinois and Michigan Canal. This canal resulted in the reversal of the direction of flow of the main stem and the South branch of the Chicago River; they used to empty into Lake Michigan and now those river sections flow toward the <a href="/wiki/Des_Plaines_River" title="Des Plaines River">Des Plaines River</a>. The Sanitary and Ship Canal was built to serve many aims, including ending using Lake Michigan as a sewer, sending waste water through treatment plants and sending it away from Lake Michigan. It is also a waterway for movement of ships. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Railway_network">Railway network</h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Cook_County,_Illinois&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Railway network" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p>The next major technology for transportation was railroads.

The approach of Cook County and Chicago to air travel has been the same as the approach to canal, railroad and highway transportation, to serve as a major national hub. </p><p>There has been a long running plan for a third major airport to serve the south side of the city and the southern and southwestern suburbs, the <a href="/wiki/Proposed_Chicago_south_suburban_airport" title="Proposed Chicago south suburban airport">Proposed Chicago south suburban airport</a> intended for Peotone, Illinois.
