Buh by! In all fairness to Lightfoot, she was incompetent before she became Mayor, City Hall hanger on er. Seems like the government is the only place you can be a complete flop and get promoted. I keep hearing people say “She won in 2019 by a landslide”. Lightfoot and Preckwinkle went to a run off, what a choice, only 540000 people showed up, Lightfoot became Mayor with 360000 votes out of 1.5 million registered voters. A ringing endorsement, not so much.
