Editorial: For mayor of Chicago: Lori Lightfoot
Editorial Board
March 15, 2019
When she assumes leadership of a $9 billion government enterprise, the next mayor of Chicago could use a few months to settle into the job. Sorry, that’s not happening.
Mayor Next will be seated in mid-May. She’ll confront a chronic financial crisis. She’ll face the prospect of a violent summer. By July, she’ll be at the bargaining table with a hungry Chicago Teachers Union. And come September, she’ll be juggling the opening of Chicago Public Schools, plus the day-to-day demands of 50 aldermen and a looming, $270 million extra pension payment. For starters.
The candidate in the April 2 runoff election who has the most versatility to manage Chicago’s complexities — its financial struggles and City Hall corruption, its gentrifying neighborhoods and deserted ones, its yearning for population growth and for economic growth, its twin crises of crime and policing — that candidate is Lori Lightfoot. Today the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board endorses her and urges Chicagoans to make her their mayor.
