Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot exchanged emails with lobbyist about O’Hare client as city ethics board declined to enforce lobbying ban, records show – Chicago Tribune*

In one email dated Aug. 31, Flossmoor trustee Gyata Kimmons requested a virtual meeting between the mayor and his client about her “interest in growing small and diverse businesses at the airports.” He also thanked Lightfoot for her “forthrightness and candor” during an unspecified dinner and wrote, “always good to close the door and let our hair down for a minute.”
