Daley is a classic machine politician. Anything that upsets the "little man" is
not something he would like. Midway is very popular with inner-city people going
on vacation. There's no way Daley could portray it as a playtoy of the rich.
Until all of that changes, Daley will work hard to keep Midway open.
