Brandon Johnson’s allies and transition advisers are working behind the scenes to put the mayor-elect’s stamp on the new City Council by tweaking the reorganization approved last month and installing more Johnson loyalists as key committee chairs.
by tweaking the reorganization approved last month and installing more Johnson loyalists as key committee chairs.
"We want to work with the City Council in a collaborative way and we want to have conversations about putting together a structure that achieves our mutual objectives, which is moving the city forward. Historically, the mayor has had some influence in order to make sure that the Council can be an effective conduit for the city’s agenda. … There has to be some responsiveness there," Lee said.
The multimillion-dollar expansion — without a clear funding source — must be ratified by the new Council and still could be undone after Johnson weighs in."When this was organized, it was not clear who the mayor of Chicago would be. Now, we know who it will be. So there is an opportunity to bring the mayor-elect of Chicago into the conversation, and folks have been amenable to those discussions," Lee said.
Mitts, who has a history of being loyal to all mayors during her tenure, was asked whether she would agree to step aside.
