Chicago’s mayor can’t be recalled under Illinois law. A new bill aims to change that.

It is a movement gaining strength on several fronts: a push to establish a recall election for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.

There is no provision for such an election under Illinois state law, but Representatives Anthony De Lucca and LaShawn Ford this week introduced House Bill 1084, which would create a process for clear and effective process for doing so.

“I think there is a push now much greater than It’s ever been,” said Ford, a fellow Democrat, who in the past has worked closely with Johnson.

“It’s not about Brandon Johnson, it’s about good government and making sure that this mechanism is on the books,” Ford said.

Ford has been trying to get such a mechanism on the books since 2015, in the wake of the fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald by then-Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke.

The bill joins an existing grassroots effort to gather signatures to place a recall measure on the ballot.

“We need to have a mechanism in place which is what our original petition was all about,” said Dan Boland, who is spearheading the Committee for the Chicago Mayoral Recall. Read More at NBC Chicago
