Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Last Minute Executive Orders and Settlements Before Leaving Office.

Outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot signed a series of executive orders on her last day in office, aimed at securing her key initiatives and forcing her successor, Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson, to continue her spending plans. The orders cover a range of subjects, including replenishing city pension funds, burnishing immigrant rights, and establishing a "Youth Commission" of 32 teens. Lightfoot's move is seemingly designed to box Johnson in by making him walk away from a measure she touts as fiscally responsible.
