The article reflects mixed feelings on a mother and son shooting near the University of Chicago.

The state senate rejected Gov. Walker’s choice Mary Lee Leahy for EPA head, seen as power politics more than merit. Critics note not only Chicago Democrats but broader political gamesmanship tainted the appointment, while Walker’s gamble ended in defeat and echoes in the case of David Fogel for corrections director.
The record discusses the rejection of Fogel by Minnesota Republicans and opposition by Chicago Democrats to Leahy’s EPA nomination. It contends Fogel was a qualified apolitical appointee targeted for political reasons, while Leahy tied to anti-machine independents, affecting the pollution control leadership.
Tom Connors notes how Mrs. Leahy emerged as an anti Daley figure through activism at the 1970 constitutional convention and campaigns against machine candidates. Gov Walker faced a political gamble in nominating her to head the EPA as the state senate rejected her by a wide margin, costing him prestige and influence.
