My Take
Twenty-two years as mayor of Chicago, surpassing even his own father's long tenure, makes Richard M. Daley one of the most consequential American city leaders of his era. What interests me is the breadth of his recognition, from the Arbor Day Foundation's Lifetime Stewardship Award to induction in the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame, hinting at a politician who reached well beyond machine politics. I think big-city mayors shape daily life more directly than most national leaders, and Daley left an unmistakable imprint on Chicago's streets and skyline. His legacy will be debated, but never ignored.
