Mayor-elect's transition team has sought a waiver for a team leader to avoid violating revolving door policy.
Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson is trying to navigate city rules and the expectations supporters have for his administration while he puts together his leadership team.
But Martinez, now a lawyer for Croke, Fairchild, Duarte & Beres, was on the city payroll until January representing the Lightfoot administration’s interests in Springfield, and the city’s so-called revolving door policy precludes former employees from coming back within a year to do certain kinds of work.So the Johnson team sought to preempt any problems, according to Johnson spokesman Ronnie Reese.
At least two of the five transition leaders Johnson named — senior adviser Amisha Patel and intergovernmental affairs adviser Erica Bland-Durosinmi — don’t live in Chicago. But Johnson often touts his West Side bona fides as an Austin resident and seeks to highlight his commitment to residents of Chicago’s poor and working class neighborhoods after campaigning on a pledge to “tax non-Chicagoans before we tax our own residents.” So his reliance on non-Chicagoans merits notice.
