In email exchange, Mayor Lori Lightfoot offers to withhold Chicago alderman’s pay to help buy equipment for first responders amid coronavirus outbreak – Chicago Tribune

The mayor’s office did not respond Monday to questions about why Lightfoot suggested only halting Lopez’s salary. Asked about the email exchange, Lopez said “They keep saying ‘We are all in this together.’ Time to put our money where our mouth is.” “Lightfoot should direct (Budget Director) Susie Park to offer it to all electeds and not use it for her petty politics,” Lopez added. “Otherwise I will just donate what I would have lost directly to local charities helping my residents.”
