I'm shocked by Daley's statement, "In the end this is a personal decision, no more, no less." I would have thought he was not running because of all the past scandals surrounding city hall. For example, many claim that Daley's friends have benefited by obtaining a lot of business contracts with the city. In fact, I read an article in Chicago magazine that discusses this very thing:

It's time for Daley to step back. He's been in office way too long. It's time somebody else gets a chance to lead.

I think Justin's comment is interesting. I read the article in Chicago Magazine, and I could see how Justin thinks Daley might step down because of the scandals. The one that jumps out at me most is the Duff family scandal, in which the leader of this family (thought to be connected to the Mob) is one of mayor Daley's most generous campaign supporters.

I'm surprised that Daley is retiring. He's been in power so long.
