Passing the Baton



Today marks a big day for the city of Chicago. Mayor Richard M. Daley, the city’s longest-serving mayor, steps down and is replaced by former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Whether you love him or hate him, Mayor Daley’s has had some serious staying power here. In 1989, the year he was elected to his first term, I was in the 5th grade. Paula Abdul and Milli Vanilli both had 3 #1 hits on the Billboard charts, and Rain Man won the Oscar for Best Picture. My, how time flies.

Congratulations, Mr. Daley. Welcome, Mayor Emanuel!
