I was catching up on local news about the CTA last night, and drifted in to differing outlooks for the French Rail Strike.

The Chicago Tribune thinks the strike is still going on

Neither The Wall Street Journal nor the Sun-Times published any news about the strike since the 23rd, the day before the strike ended.

The Financial Times thinks "Sarkozy victorious as strike ends"

To (les) echo Dennis Byrne, if only our Illinois leaders could show the leadership of the French, we may be able to resolve the CTA "Crisis".
