Ethics Champion Mary Lee Leahy Passes Away

Posted 2012-12-13 05:57:00 by WMAY News


She took on the huge political patronage machine in Illinois... and won.

 

Mary Lee Leahy is being remembered today as a tenacious and principled fighter for ethics and justice.

 

Leahy was the lead attorney in the Rutan case, which eventually went to the U.S. Supreme Court and led to a landmark ruling that overturned the political hiring system in state government.

 

Leahy died Wednesday after a long battle with cancer.

 

She was 72.
