Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s choice to replace West Side Ald. Michael Scott on the City Council is his sister, Monique Scott, the mayor announced Monday.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel, for instance, appointed Deb Mell to succeed her father, Dick Mell, as 33rd Ward alderman. Mayor Richard M. Daley appointed Carrie Austin to the position her husband, Lemuel Austin, held as 34th Ward alderman, and also appointed Margaret Laurino to succeed her father, Anthony, as 39th ward alderman.
While Lightfoot argued that Monique Scott was the best choice of the candidates who applied, her selection raises the likelihood that the mayor will be criticized for practicing the insider politics she ran against. Appointing Scott could add to criticism of the mayor’s good government credentials. As mayor, Lightfoot has faced criticism that she’s abandoned core issues on openness, ethics and political reform that she campaigned on.
