Lightfoot staying above the fray in messy remap battle — for now – Chicago Sun-Times*

"Lightfoot campaigned on a promise to create an independent commission to draw new ward boundaries to coincide with the 2020 Census. But she has taken no steps to honor that promise and has, so far, remained above the fray. It won’t last. It can’t. Some time before the Dec. 1 deadline, she will either have to sign or veto the ordinance approved by the City Council."
