Environment - Mayor Daley named a top environmentalist

Earlier this month, Chicago's Mayor Daley was cited for openness in government -- this entry quotes the Chicago Tribune as reporting: "Mayor Richard Daley, whose stealthy midnight raid last year resulted in the surprise shutdown of Meigs Field, accepted a first-place award Wednesday from a Washington-based group for openness in government."

Today the Chicago Sun-Times announces that Mayor Daley "is one of the 50 top environmental power brokers in the nation, Organic Style magazine says in its November issue." The Sun-Times headline: "Magazine gushes over Daley's environmental record."

And here, from Organic Style, is the Organic Style Environmental Power List. Mayor Daley shares space with other noted environmentalists such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz and Bette Midler.
