Daley Departs for Copenhagen

Chicago Mayor Richard Daley says bidding on the 2016 Summer Games was worth it, even if Chicago doesn’t get the Olympics. Daley says the city has benefited because more people around the world know about Chicago now. And he says there will be other lasting benefits, like a commitment to youth sports. Daley leaves for Copenhagen today to prepare for next week’s International Olympic Committee meeting. The IOC will decide Oct. 2 if Chicago gets to host the 2016 summer games.
