While the mayor has the authority to nominate the CTA president, that person must be approved by the agency’s board. “(Don’t) assume power that you do not have,” Ald. David Moore told directors. “Work with the mayor that put you here. Don’t be a backbiting snake.”
Political animals make lousy managers. At a time when drastic service realignments to match actual demand for transit are required (meaning service cuts), a political animal would not be able to do what is necessary if the correct course of action upsets their political patrons.
Political animal Moore’s threatening and insulting comments are completely out of line.

Hilarious! Don’t be a backbiting snake to the backbiting snake! Pedro Martinez must be getting a good laugh at this. And many others.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
“(Don’t) assume power that you do not have…”
How about don’t spend money you don’t have?

The CTA issues, as good old Harold would express, “ the situation is hubris “.
