He is to some degree honest and to another degree dishonest. I believe he uses a lot discretion in his decisions. Overall, he's done a fantastic job revitilizing a city that was on its way to becomming Detroit's ugly twin. Over the years Daley pissed off a lot of people, but the city has cleaned up, attracted more tourists and became a fun and safe spot for just about anyone. If you look at some of the tacticts that's he's used, you will realize how clever he is. Look at the history of Midway airport for example. Remember when the airport shut down at 10 PM and everyone was complaining about the noise? Look at it now. Flights land day and night, no one is complaining, and the airport looks pristine. All it took was Daley's suggestion to move the airport to Gary. He really didn't have to be honest or dishonest to win at the end. Daley uses this a lot of this in his politics and these social modeling techniques he learned from his dad. You can say that his dad had great ideas, but his son implemented them. There is no politician out there that is honest. Just like there is no parent out there that can be always honest. Both have to use discretion and both have to throw an occasional fib!

Mayor Daley honest? Yeah, and the Pope is a Buddhist. :-)
Both Daleys are/were some of the most corrupt public officials ever. However, in a town like Chicago, that's probably par for the course.

I have always lived in suburbs however growing up the only mayor that anyone remembers is Sr. However, I think they had both had the city in mind. Richie, had really cleaned up the city enough that I love going there to visit. If you are old enough remember what it was like between mayors.....they both love the city! No pobably not the honest, but straight forward, yes!

I think "honest politician" is an oxymoron...
