Slow start or cautious rollout? Mayor Johnson is unveiling his transition report and has filled key posts later than predecessors; defenders say he wants to “get it right.”
Mayor Brandon Johnson applauds Ald. Scott Waguespack, 32nd, for his service during a City Council meeting, May 24, 2023, at City Hall.
Like Emanuel and Lightfoot, Johnson followed the traditional model of calling together experts from across the city to recommend the best way forward.But unlike his predecessors, Johnson has not rushed to make personnel changes or even unveil his transition report until this week, nearly two months into his term in office.
Johnson didn’t announce a corporation counsel until about three weeks into his administration, for instance. Emanuel and Lightfoot were also both quick to overhaul the Board of Education: Lightfoot announced days into her term she would replace all members, while her predecessor didn’t even wait until he got in office to name a new board and Chicago Public Schools CEO, though Emanuel had more time because he didn’t have to face a second round of voting.
“I think we’re all anxiously awaiting that report and arguably, it’s a little bit behind schedule,” Hopkins told the Tribune ahead of the document’s debut. “But I assume that’s because there were some things that needed to be worked out. You know, the mayor said all along he wanted an inclusive and diverse team, which means you’re going to have conflicting viewpoints.”
