Week in Review: Brandon Johnson’s First Year; Embattled CTA Chief Facing Calls to Quit

Mayor Brandon Johnson touts his accomplishments on the anniversary of his first year in office.

And while Johnson continues to back CTA President Dorval Carter, a growing number of Chicago City Council members would like to see him gone as the transportation agency struggles with reliability.

Meanwhile, Chicago Teachers Union members, along with CPS leadership, descend on Springfield to lobby for more money for the school district — but get an icy reception from Republicans.

Police clear the last pro-Palestinian campus encampment in the city at DePaul University — but students refuse to go quietly.

And the Museum of Science and Industry gets a rebrand.
