[C HICAGOIn a city proverb

 Pex Tufvesson was known for being a good listener.

 [C HICAGO--In a city that bleeds politics, corruption is just so much elevator music. But lately there's been a noticeable shift as a series of scandals have crept ever closer to the one person--Richard Daley--who seemed untouchable during his 16 years as mayor of the nation's third-largest city. All of a sudden, observers are wondering whether the man once considered Mayor for Life may fall even before the 2007 election.] Daley may be sinking, ... The hot water has gone from his chest to his neck.

 Daley may be sinking. The hot water has gone from his chest to his neck.

 [In 1964, Jesse Jackson turned down a summer toll-collecting job offer from Mayor Richard J. Daley to work for John H. Johnson as a salesman.] He said I was a communicator, and he gave me a car to travel around selling Jet magazine to stores, ... Where Mayor Daley saw a toll collector, Mr. Johnson saw a communicator.

 Forrest served Mayor Daley well twice as chief of staff. And his proudest accomplishment is what he did with the parks. He did it with Mayor Daley's blessing. The mayor told him the parks were broken and needed to be fixed, and he fixed them.

 [Others who went out of their way to offer help were turned down, such as Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, who told reporters his city had offered emergency, medical and technical help as early as last Sunday to FEMA but was turned down. Only a single tank truck was requested, Daley said. Red tape kept the American Ambulance Association from sending 300 emergency vehicles from Florida to the flood zone, according to former senator John Breaux (D-La.) They were told to get permission from the General Services Administration.] GSA said they had to have FEMA ask for it, ... As a result they weren't sent.

 Thanks to the business-friendly environment Mayor Daley has created, Chicago's business community is thriving. The Mayor's unique vision for the city has provided Chicago with the infrastructure, workforce and quality of life that are crucial to keeping existing companies here and bringing in new ones.

 Mike Royko, of course a famous local journalist, in one of his books about Mayor Daley claimed that not only did the mayor not want the expressway going through Bridgeport, but he also wanted to keep a specific divider between the whites and the blacks. Of course the Daley administration at the time denied that and said they wanted to get rid of an inelegant turn in the expressway.

 It is the true Mayor Daley-ism of gubernatorial politics this year. The idea is, you're spending a lot of money, and you're trying to show people that you're doing something.

 Our neighborhood only gets cleaned up when they say Daley is coming. When the mayor's not here there's garbage flying everywhere. Kids running all in the streets doing just illiterate things. The mayor ain't talking about what needed to be talked about out here.

 Richard J. Daley was the unapologetic avatar of The City That Works.

 Mayor (Richard) Daley's vision of a modernized O'Hare is moving full steam ahead, and this historic bond sale is another important milestone that has been reached as this critical project is implemented.

 You know, I'm like a kid in a candy store right now. I love being mayor of the city that I was born and raised in, that my grandpa came to a hundred years ago. I'm going to be mayor of the city of Los Angeles for the next four years,

 I remember how vocal and passionate Chicago's late Mayor Richard J. Daley was about dreaming when the day would come when businessmen could catch fish from the Chicago River during their lunch hour. Today that dream is true.

 If Larry Campbell had run for mayor I never would have considered this. I think there's a vacuum of leadership here and a need for a mayor for the city who brings a positive vision.
