More than half of the City Council have signed a resolution, demanding CTA President Dorval Carter resign or be fired by Mayor Brandon Johnson. Council members who voted for his removal are raising concerns in the bill about CTA's service reliability, security, hiring and ridership, which was hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the four-hour council hearing, Carter said he has done what's needed to be done to boost hiring and ridership post-pandemic, while also ignoring, he says, other opportunities to earn more than his $376,000 dollar CTA salary.
