From Wiki:
"Daley currently serves on the Boards of Directors of Boeing, Merck & Co., Inc, Boston Properties, Inc., and Loyola University Chicago. He also sits on the Council on Foreign Relations.
He is the seventh and youngest child of the late Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and Eleanor "Sis" Daley, and the brother of the city's current mayor, Richard M. Daley and John P. Daley."
Yeah, gives Mayor Richard Daley a direct pipeline ino the White House. It’s the slightly more subtle method of really putting the Mayor in the WH. It’s a distinction without a difference.
