There was a standing ovation for Lightfoot, who was presented with a flag in honor of her term as mayor.
"Mayor Lightfoot, I want to thank you," said Ald. Andre Vasquez ."It is objectively true that you had the hardest hand dealt to you of any mayor in the history of the city of Chicago."
Even Ald. Raymond Lopez , a frequent Lightfoot critic said,"We have not always seen eye-to-eye. I know that you are in the role you are because of your love for Chicago.""I am happy," Hairston said."I am really happy you know, it's a little weird."One alderman who did not speak with the media was longtime 14th Ward representative Ed Burke.
She called leaving the body"bittersweet" and told Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson that if he needed anything, she'd be there. For now though,"I'll be sitting back as a regular citizen watching and rooting for our city and for its wellbeing," she said.Johnson and the next City Council will all be sworn in on May 15.
