FILE - In this April 14, 2007 file photo, Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley smiles as he speaks with reporters after Chicago's presentation to the U.S. Olympic Committee, in Washington. Daley has been called the best mayor in America, even when criticized by constituents. When Daley steps aside as Chicago's leader after 22 years, he'll be remembered as a big dreamer and a bigger doer, someone who used equal parts muscle, finesse and charm to polish a once-gritty city and its image, even if he'll leave behind some big problems. (AP Photo/Lauren Victoria Burke, File)AP - When Boeing Co. relocated its headquarters to Chicago from Seattle in 2001, delegations from Las Vegas to Boston came calling to ask how Mayor Richard M. Daley's city pulled it off. One former Miami mayor says adopting Daley's school reform ideas helped get him elected. A New Jersey mayor has sought Daley's advice on assisting ex-convicts.
