Some former Chicago City Council members suggest a lack of civility in the city council is one of the driving reasons for why so many people are leaving. Nearly one-third of the council has left for one reason or another.
They offered some perspective on the mass exodus from the council Friday at the Union League Club, suggesting that it's more than pandemic fatigue - it's also how contentious and self-focused people have become."I think there's a loss of camaraderie and kind of friendship," Allen said. "While we were on the council, the folks sitting here, we had different viewpoints, but we always were respectful.
"Anyone who can tell you today who's going to be elected mayor in April, 'cause there will be a runoff, is completely on drugs," Moore said.
