Free Speach My Butt

IMHO, this has *nothing* to do with free speech.

Clearly the CTA should refund their money if they canceled the contract and yanked the ads.

"Speech" that is.

This has a lot to do with free speech

In that cities allow a lot of people to advertise on their transportation who they might not agree with.

Take-Two has a good case for free speech infringement, and for breaking of a contract.

I live in Chicago and don't exactly hold CTA in high esteem. It's a lovely dumping ground for politicians, especially if a given employee is too limited to work in city hall, or the county "administration." I would rather take a kidnap-taxi in Mexico City than parts of the blue line using 50 year old tracks with zero actual maintenance.

I guess the CTA communicated with Take Two about as well as it communicated with its riders during a recent accident (which is not very well at all).
