Summary
The Boss. I don’t dislike politicians, I just don’t like what they do. I have mixed emotions about Richard J. Daley the deceased Boss of Chicago. I can’t say I liked the Chicago river dyed green for St. Patty’s day. But when it came to running a city few could rival him. Daley was a builder and I can’t say that about most politicians today. If something was wrong he knew how to fix it. Daley was old school. He believed it was a sin to commit a crime. However I didn’t appreciate during the 1968 Democratic Convention he gave orders to shoot to kill protesters. It was patronage, but he never worked for himself it was for a city he loved.
