Ald. Tom Tunney (44th), the powerful chairman of the City Council’s Zoning Committee and a key member of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s leadership team, is retiring from the workplace he called “not a good place to work these days.”
“I have always strived to do my best for the residents and businesses in the Lake View community and have been honored by the remarkable opportunity to serve the resident of the 44th Ward for almost twenty years,” Tunney, owner of Ann Sather Restaurants, said in a statement released Tuesday, the first day to circulate nominating petitions for alderperson, mayor and other citywide offices.
