The Lincoln Park Trixie Society today issued a formal statement acknowledging Mayor Richard M. Daley's announcement that he will not seek re-election in 2011 after twenty-two years as Chicago's forty-second mayor.
"The Daley era represents the only era of Chicago governance in which the Society has been fully operational," noted Executive Director Ashley Munroe. "For those of us who have lived in Lincoln Park the entire time, Richard M. Daley is Chicago government. His departure will require significant psychological adjustment on the part of the membership."
The Society plans a commemorative brunch in the Mayor's honor, pending venue confirmation. No date has been set. The bar will be open at ten.
