"The removal brought to mind Mayor Richard M. Daley’s decision to bulldoze the runways at Meigs Field in the middle of the night so he could turn the lakefront airport into a park. When that happened, we faulted him for his 'increasingly authoritarian style that brooks no disagreements, legal challenges, negotiations, compromise or any of that messy give-and-take normally associated with democratic government.' Lightfoot, a reform-minded independent, was supposed to be the antithesis of Daley."
