Lori Lightfoot came in third in the Chicago mayoral runoff, so she is outta there in a few weeks!
Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson will battle for City Hall and the hope of bringing the Windy City out of the Dark Ages.
Despite the Greek name, Vallas does not have a great record. He was CEO of the public schools of Chicago, Philadelphia, and New Orleans, all of which are disasters. Brandon Johnson is the Cook County commissioner and sees like a leftist who would pursue the same sort of Lightfoot-era policies that plunged Chicago even deeper into the abyss.
Nonetheless, at least failure was not rewarded.
Is this the beginning of a renaissance for Chicago?
Only time will tell, but at least there seems to have been some sort of a course correction.
Going to be an interesting show!
