It was Lightfoot’s legacy that council members were remembering as they bid farewell to her and more than a dozen their own colleagues who either lost their elections or have decided to step down.
“You always did what you thought was right,” said sometimes council combatant Ald. Carlos Ramirez Rosa.“You’ve done more than any other mayor in this city including Harold Washington because he didn’t get to finish,” he said.
The tenure was not lost on 45th Ward Alderman James Gardiner who quipped, “you have been here longer than I have been alive…truly.” Many of the council members said they could not spend the entire day simply reminiscing. They are also looking forward to the new city council and the challenges they will face.
