state's attorney was reelected for a third time.

I think the state has some serious problems.
Just look at the layoffs going on across the state,
not just in Chicago.
It affects the middle class.
It pushes people down.
- Richard M. Daley

People have to be confident about their sites.
We're confident, number one, because under my administration

I've very proud to be mayor of our great city.
It's a city with a heart and a soul.
Chicago has a unique spirit.
Our business community wants to give back.

They really do a disservice because these men and women
came out of the Depression,
they came out of the war.

And you can go across the country and you'll see that.

on their quality of life issues, and they believed in that.
But today it is completely different.

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.
- Richard M. Daley

Alcohol and drug addiction are problems,
and we should use outside agencies that know the business.
They do business all over the country.
Why don't we contract them to do it? See,
we should be in certain businesses.
- Richard M. Daley

We also need people like social workers,
volunteers, the Christian Industrial League,
drug treatment programs to make sure you are getting them a job.
That's what you have to do.
Otherwise, we just keep stepping around these things.
- Richard M. Daley

I'm the one who gets called up about a problem.
I'm the one who gets called up about the street lighting and the abandoned car.
I'm the one who gets blamed if the police don't arrive.
I'm the one they blame if a city truck is broken down.
- Richard M. Daley

That's an economic development program in the metropolitan area.
If they don't see that, and you don't get these things done,
then you're competing with Texas and California and Atlanta;
then you really have problems.
- Richard M. Daley

We're competing against other great cities:
Madrid,
Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo.
That's why it's important that we all join together
on the final path to Copenhagen.
Having the support of President Obama is key.
- Richard M. Daley

That area environmentally is a waste.
You can't do anything.
I don't care if the Sierra Club goes out there.
It is fully polluted!
You're not only going to work to clean up the environment,
but also you will put people to work.
- Richard M. Daley

So you keep raising these taxes, and all of a sudden
the business community says,
'Why are we here? We can go someplace else and use their phones.'
That's one of the problems that directly affects the business community.
- Richard M. Daley

I've reached out to other mayors throughout the United
States to form an Olympic Task Force of Mayors,
and to community leaders, Congress, and businesspeople.
As thousands of people around the country join the movement,
it gets more and more exciting.

There has been loss of steel manufacturing.
Those people need jobs.
Where you have to build the third airport is where people are.
So you're right; if his site isn't playable,
then our site is right next to it.
- Richard M. Daley

Well, the problem of the federal government is that
they print money and go in debt.
That's their national policy, Democrats and Republicans it doesn't matter.
And this is where I differ.
- Richard M. Daley

The spirit of the Olympic movement is great for young
people because it teaches them about the training and
discipline required to compete.
Even if they don't make the teams, they can rededicate
their lives to the art of sport,
discipline, and physical fitness.
- Richard M. Daley

I enjoy getting things done.
My philosophy is the edge, the edge of something.
There's where we have to go in local government,
in not only the philosophy but the creativity in people around you.
They have to go to the edge.
- Richard M. Daley

We are going to sign a treaty with Mexico.
We are competing internationally.
We need another international airport for international cargo,
international travel, international businesses.

My dad came out of the Roosevelt era and the Depression.
One person and one party made a difference in his life.
That's what everybody forgot when they called my father
and other people political bosses.
- Richard M. Daley

I believe the way I describe the problems in Chicago
is that it's a metropolitan area.
I've said that everywhere.
The uneducated child is not just my problem,
it's the state's problem.
It's also the federal government's problem.
- Richard M. Daley

I'm one who demands a lot from people.
I'm not afraid to look at alternative ways in city government.
That's what I've done in my two years and will continue to do in the next four.

Everybody would love to be mayor of Chicago.

by the business community,
the commitment by the not-for-profit community -
all this coming together -
this is a wonderful city.
- Richard M. Daley
