Mayor Brandon Johnson presided over his first Chicago City Council meeting Wednesday where member debates key leadership roles.
The first big floor debate involved who will get the key power positions in the new City Council.
Some of the alderpersons were not happy about the way things have been handled with the negotiations over those plum positions. "I have to represent my residents. And when those residents are disrespected, I'm going to stand up and say all the time, ‘This is not my seat, this is their seat.’ Every time, they have to have a voice in it," 17th Ward Ald. David Moore said.
