From the Editorial Board: Lori Lightfoot deserves a city's thanks for her pandemic efforts. But leaders who see communities through crises rarely survive in office.
Cartoonist Scott Stantis on how COVID-19 dominated Lori Lightfoot's time as mayor.

They typically struggled to change gears and, even if they tried, they still were seen as walking reminders of eras to be forgotten fast. So it has gone with Lightfoot. She has detractors on the left, who view her as too conservative on matters of crime, cops and punishment, too focused on personal responsibility, too reluctant to use inequity as an excuse, and insufficiently supportive of progressive values.
