Chicago's Inspector General Highlights 'Deficit of Legitimacy' as Mayor Johnson Seeks Successor
Chicago's outgoing Inspector General, Deborah Witzburg, has highlighted a 'deficit of legitimacy' in the city's operations as she prepares to leave office. Witzburg, known for her outspoken approach, has been a critical figure in holding the city accountable, often clashing with Mayor Brandon Johnson. Her departure presents a challenge for Mayor Johnson, who must now select a successor capable of maintaining the office's independence and effectiveness. Witzburg's tenure was marked by significant investigations into city practices, including campaign finance and police department oversight, which have often put her at odds with the mayor.
