Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot On Her Pandemic Year: ‘Every Decision Was Hard’ – WBEZ (Chicago)

The mayor said, in part, "But what I also know from that experience was that we were going to have to handle this at the local level, pretty much on our own. The federal government’s handling of that travel order was really, probably the most charitable thing I can say was that it was incredibly competent. We needed federal leadership, and we didn’t get it. And so at that moment, that’s really what kind of galvanized a lot of the mayors across the country."

She totally failed all the way along the line. Her plan was to pander to south and west side takers with free everything. She also discriminated against white people in the prioritizing of vaccines and got away with it. She needs to go.

Yes, every decision to take a functioning city and economy, and shut it down, was difficult. And stupid too. Because you, Lori, will forever be remember in infamy as the triple threat politican who destroyed Chicago.
