The Ethics Committee plans to hold a hearing, and potentially a key vote, on Wednesday to consider a proposed overhaul of the city of Chicago’s Governmental Ethics Ordinance, without giving the public or news media a chance to review.
Chicago Board of Ethics Chair William Conlon said June 13 the package of reforms should be “swiftly” passed
To resurrect her proposal, Smith plans to introduce the revised measure directly to her committee, which could vote to send the proposal to the full City Council meeting on July 20 for a final vote. The approval of the mayor’s office is typically needed to bypass the normal legislative process, as is being proposed in this case.
Ald. Roderick Sawyer , who is running against Lightfoot for mayor, blocked the original proposal from advancing in April because he said he had not had enough time to review it before voting to allow it to advance to a hearing and potential vote. Since then, Sawyer has signed on as a co-sponsor of the measure, along with Ald. Scott Waguespack , one of the mayor’s closest allies.
It is also unclear why Lightfoot would not support Smith’s proposal in an election year and use it as an opportunity to burnish her credentials as a reformer.
