South Side Ald. Roderick Sawyer, whose father was mayor in the 1980s, will run for City Hall’s top job, he said Thursday.
Sawyer’s declaration marks an extraordinary break with Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who selected him to be part of her City Council leadership team as chairman of the health and human services committee. In an interview with the Tribune, Sawyer criticized Lightfoot’s combative leadership style and said her contempt for aldermen makes it difficult for the City Council to get things done.
“I don’t think I would treat my colleagues as nemesis or an opposing party. We’re all partners in this,” Sawyer said. “That’s the approach we need to take.”
Asked about Sawyer’s entry into the race Thursday morning, Lightfoot said she will announce her reelection campaign next week and defended her record.
“Another day, another man who thinks he can do this job better than me,” Lightfoot said.

Is office time time when nothing is scheduled? Or is it more like, say, a doctor’s walk-in clinic (whereas meetings are actual appointments)? I’ll admit I don’t know what is involved in being a big city mayor.

I was going to say that any sea urchin could do a better job. But someone’s going to have to compile a top 10 list off this thread of what/who could do a better job than that ugly dyke.
