I’m still extremely happy Johnson won because the alternative was Vallas. Not looking forward to the next election though because I don’t think Johnson can win a second term and I know they’re going to pull out some Vallas-like creature.
Johnson’s base was extremely hopeful that he would be a forceful reformist and we’ve been disappointed. Carter is a good example, I guess Carter did recently resign on his own and now the CTA has an acting director, but we were hoping Johnson would fire Carter and the whole board and bring in people who actually care about transit. Johnson, however, doesn’t seem to care at all about the CTA and doesn’t want to have anything to do with it.
We were hoping Johnson was the second coming of Harold Washington and even though HW’s term was chaos due to the council wars at least he was fighting. Johnson doesn’t appear to be a fighter.
