Good Luck With This

This will likely go nowhere:

• Mayor Brandon Johnson has his hands full with the migrant crisis, a persistent robbery surge, negotiations on a new teachers’ contract and an increasingly restive City Council. Now, he faces another potential, but much smaller, headache: a recall.

  A former technology salesman who lives in Lake View has formed a political action committee to raise money and at least begin the formidable challenge of putting a binding referendum on the Nov. 5 ballot asking Chicago voters whether they want the power to recall their mayor.

  Daniel Boland said the recall effort is about “helping and empowering” the people of Chicago — not about “hurting” Johnson. But he acknowledged he’s disappointed with the mayor’s performance.

Someone ought to be circulating these petitions in Police and Fire stations across the city in any event. They might get lucky and acquire the 11,000 signatures we gathered years ago.
