The name has been synonymous with Chicago for decades, during the 21 years Richard J. served as mayor, and during the 21 years his son, Richard M., has been the leader of the city. The Daley era, however, is set to end May 16, 2011, when a new mayor is crowned, and Daley retires. At that point, Daley will have served the city 22 years and 22 days, while his father made it to 21 years and eight HOWARD BROWN months. Daley sat down recently with Windy City Times to discuss his MOVING AHEAD relationship to the city’s LGBT community. Daley’s bold and brash style has angered some, pleased others, and PAGE 6 overall helped lead Chicago out of the Council Wars of the 1980s and into a more civil city of the 1990s and 2000s. But not all has been perfect, with critics upset over his handling of education, crime, police brutality and, especially in recent years, the selling off of valuable city assets, such as parking meters, and using those revenues for short-term gain.
