“Lori Lightfoot (D) takes over as Chicago mayor on Monday after a seven-week sprint that saw her try to build an administration she can trust to run the city and promote her agenda while she also set out to mould the City Council by installing allies in key positions to try bringing change to the notoriously reform-averse body,” the Chicago Tribune reports.

“Just days before she was to get sworn in, Lightfoot hadn’t filled several key posts in her administration. That has led to questions about just how different it will look from Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s, at least at the outset.”
