This is true about Richard J. Daley, but for the son, Richard M. Daley, not so much. Shortshanks probably committed a crime when he tore up the runway of the downtown airport Meigs Field in the middle of the night. He sold off the rights to all parking meter revenue, the Skyway tolls, and Grant Park parking garages, deals that netted short term gains, but giving up billions of dollars in future revenue. That’s some legacy.

Agree. Only Daley had the affection of the whole city and not just the Democrats. Mother became a fervent Republican but always accepted Daley as a decent human being. Never heard her tolerate any other Dem mayor.
