Mayor Brandon Johnson’s ‘pending’ Springfield lobbyist team draws ethics questions – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo

Ethics questions aside, multiple lawmakers said that Brandon Johnson’s government affairs team had a bigger problem: Their efforts this session were ineffective. “This is the most, I would say, emaciated I’ve seen a lobbying team for a mayor of the city of Chicago in Springfield,” said state Rep. Curtis Tarver, a Chicago Democrat and an assistant majority leader in the Illinois House. “They’ve not had a comprehensive agenda. It’s hodgepodge.”
