From the Editorial Board: For the next mayor, building trust between law enforcement and communities starts with the selection of a superintendent.

Like Lightfoot, Brown’s downfall has everything to do with failing to make the city safer. He vowed to bring down the number of annual homicides to fewer than 300. Instead,760 homicides in 2020, more than 800 homicides in 2021 and nearly 700 in 2022. Carjackings surged. And when we spoke with aldermanic candidates during endorsement interviews, virtually every candidate said Chicagoans had told them the city’s No. 1 problem was the rising tide of violent crime.

Understanding that compliance is a yearslong endeavor, the department and City Hall have nonetheless consistently lagged in keeping up with the mandate’s deadlines., his point man for keeping the department on course with implementing the consent decree. Boik, who was CPD’s executive director of constitutional policing and reform, was let go after sending an email to Brown about the superintendent’s decision to move members of Boik’s staff to patrol duty.

For either Johnson or Vallas, building that trust starts with the selection of a police superintendent who commits to police reform not just with words but also with actions, and makes timely adherence to the consent decree nonnegotiable.

Vallas Loans $100,100 to His Bid for Mayor, Lifting State Limits on Campaign ContributionsPaul Vallas and Brandon Johnson can now raise nearly unlimited amounts of cash for their campaigns, after Vallas loaned $100,100 to his campaign on Thursday, two days after advancing to the April 4 runoff. Johnson should never be in the MAYOR'S OFFICE. He's just LIGHTFOOT 2.0. He wants to defend the police. Wants illegals to vote. Wants criminals in jail to vote. Wants to send social workers to deal with CRIMINALS instead of the police. Many more but you should know get the idea.

David Greising: If Vallas and Johnson can stick with the issues, Chicagoans will be better offCommentary: Chicago mayoral runoff candidates Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson clearly are ready to play hardball, not beanbag. Lovely pro-Vallas opinion piece by a 'non-partisan' group. It also seemed to be an unload of built-up issues with Lightfoot Brandon will block you if you challenge his crime and tax plan. When he becomes mayor if your not part of CTU he will silence your voice. He is bad for us Chicago residents. I'll just sit back and continue to watch the city spiral. That's what's going to happen. Schools are a mess, crime is spiking, businesses shuttering. It's turning into such a shit hole that even the Bears are like, nope, we're out.
