This week marks the launch of an online petition as part of a grassroots effort aiming to hold the Mayor of Chicago directly accountable to voters and subject to recall.
A similar push failed almost a decade ago, raising questions about whether history will repeat itself.The new initiative, titled "Recall This Fall," is the brainchild of Dan Boland, an activist advocating for voter empowerment in deciding whether Chicago 's mayor can be recalled."We're more concerned with ceasefires in Gaza than we are with ceasefires in our own neighborhoods.
I stand firm on that. I believe that if the voters lose confidence in the mayor of the city of Chicago or the governor of Illinois, they should have a mechanism in place to recall that person," Ford said.Nine years ago, Ford's efforts encountered strong opposition, both in Chicago and downstate."Not only were they not going to make it easy, Scott, they made it impossible.
