March 1, 2022 midnight
From New York City’s Jimmy Walker to Chicago’s Richard J. Daley, many cities have had interesting Irish American mayors. Hot Springs had its own combination of the colorful Walker and the powerful Daley—Irish American Mayor Leo P. McLaughlin. City attorney for 13 years and then mayor from 1927-1947, McLaughlin left a complicated legacy. Photos courtesy of the Garland County Historical Society
