Patrick Daley Thompson needed money.
The nephew of former Mayor Richard M. Daley and grandson of the late Mayor Richard J. Daley had his law practice and his post as an elected commissioner of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. He also had whatever he took in from renting out a two-flat he owned in Bridgeport not far from the one where he and his family lived the same house where his grandfather lived as he built one of the nation’s most powerful political machines.
