LEED is an abbreviation for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Over the past decade there has been a vast increase in the number of people who are concerned about the environment. Because of this many initiatives have been created to help alleviate this concern. LEED is one of these initiatives.
Examples of Political Patronage. In the United States, governors are given the right to choose who will be appointed to lead various state departments, and they often chosen from people that have supported them along the way. In this case, the governor has the legal right to reward loyalty by giving someone a job.
During the Progressive Era (1900â1920), good government reformers overthrew political machines and installed civil service systems. Chicago, under Mayor Richard J. Daley, remained the last bastion of patronage, existing in its purest form until the late 1970s. If you were looking for a specific example than I guess Mayor Richard J. Daley would be it. Most hardcore patronage in state government kinda stopped around his time period.
