Always Quote by Richard M. Daley

“In the coming days, I know there will be some reflecting on my time as mayor. Many of you will search to find what's behind my decision. It's simple. I have always believed that every person, especially public officials, must understand when it is time to move on. For me, that time is now.” quote by Richard M. Daley — Download Open image
