Lopez: Mayor Johnson has ‘not shown a clear leadership path’ after 3 years | The Point

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is marking three years on the job this week with a positive outlook of the city's future. But growing tension with City Council could complicate the mayor's political agenda, as he considers running for a second term. One of Johnson's loudest critics, 15th Ward Alderman Raymond Lopez, says the mayor hasn't shown clear leadership in battles over the budget and other issues. Lopez is also weary of giving Mayor Johnson credit for lowering some crime across the city. Later, WGN-TV Political Editor Tahman Bradley gives a Tip of the Hat to Billy Goat Tavern owner Sam Sianis, who died on Friday at age 91. --- 'The Point' airs on WGN and streams on WGN+ each weeknight at 6:45 p.m. CT.
