While Mayor Daley may be losing ground in local popularity, he's sure got a fan in the Toronto Sun's Sue-Ann Levy! The mayor was in town to talk shop with his Torontonian counterpart, helpfully pointing out that the city had at least 60 years to catch up with Chicago on its waterfront development, and, according to this report in the Toronto Star, interview with Fashion Television's Jeanne Beker. As for Levy, well, she paints such a rosy, almost hagiographic portrait of Daley that you'd think all this recent business about scandal and corruption in City Hall was so much stuff and nonsense.
