A former Illinois lawmaker wants the Chicago City Council to erase a new slate of committee chairs it recently approved.
Former state senator Rickey Hendon and others want the council to start all over again next month, after Brandon Johnson has been sworn in a Chicago's new mayor.
Supporters of the council choosing its own committee chairs note the move toward an independent legislative branch was made before last week's mayoral runoff election and was not a personal sleight aimed at either Johnson or Paul Vallas."There needs to be a check on the executive branch, regardless of who's sitting in the mayor's seat. And that's why this body was intentional in declaring its independence," said Ald. Gil Villegas .
Supporters say the council also needs budget analysts and legal advisors who are truly independent of the mayor's office.
