Ald. Susan Sadlowski Garza — the first member of the Chicago Teachers Union ever elected to City Council — is retiring after two terms.
Earlier this year, Garza gave an interview to journalist Ben Joravsky in which she offered a window into the behind-the-scenes complaints aldermen share about Lightfoot, including people who were once friendly with the mayor.
“Sue’s advocacy in City Council will be missed but I am confident we will continue to hear from her and see her on the front lines fighting for social justice for years to come,” Lightfoot said.for blocking a permit sought by clout-heavy scrap shredder General Iron seeking to operate on the Southeast Side.
Arwady said the firm was “out of compliance,” according to Garza, who criticized the city for denying the permit and the jobs it would bring.“I literally said, ‘This is a political decision. I am not stupid. I am not stupid and I hope you can sleep at night knowing that you’re putting all these people out of work,’” Garza said.
