Before he stepped down, he was the president of CTA Dorval Carter Jr. Known for members of the city council because of its deaf failure in responding to the cyclists and their elected representatives.
He pushed his fixed refusal to answer their questions about ghost buses and other service and safety issues. Andre Vasquez (40) to pay the accuracy of persuading the quarterly Carter certificate in front of the council.
This type of football will not happen again, if the city writer Anna Valenika has its way.
Valencia joined the efforts with Ald. Scott WaguesPack (32) on Wednesday in submitting a decision that can pave the way for the council that is already encouraging to exercise greater authority over other agencies of the local government.
These include CTA, Chicago Public Schools, Chicago Housing Huilm and Chicago Park Colleges in Chicago.
Everyone is called “sister agencies” have their own councils and their own budgets. While CPS is transferred to the entire elected education board, members of the Board of Directors are appointed in other agencies by the mayor and confirmed by the Council.
Otherwise, however, the council does not have another authority over “sister agencies”.

Mayor Brandon Johnson appears to be not enthusiastic about repair. Valencia's decision was transferred to the rules committee, where the legislation opposed by the mayor goes.
However, Valencia believes that change has long been late.
She wants to highlight these other agencies, which have great effects on how Chicago residents live, play and go to work and the extent of teaching their children.
“What is the time for notification to all members of the city council and the public when a member of the Board of Directors is appointed? Are there certain requirements that they need to adhere to? Do they have experience to go to this painting?” Said Valencia.
“What are the requirements of the reports? Do the CEO or the president and the chairman of the Board of Directors should make his agency? Exactly like the mayor's head, they must come and talk about their financial view, public safety plans or their operational plans?”

Often, this decisive information is not shared at all or distributed to the members of the Council and their counterparts in the General Assembly in Illinois during closed doors, Valencia said.
Valencia said that there is no “regular rhythm” to exchange information with every day in Chicago, adding that it is no wonder that the government's lack of confidence in all levels at its highest levels ever.
“As a mother, I care about our school’s system deeply. I care about our clean and safe source for my daughter so that she can play herself with her friends. Valencia said:
“The work our sister agencies are doing really important. I want to know that the members of the Board of Directors accredited by the city council are experts in their field and will take responsibility for the CEO and the sister agency because this was not always.”
Valencia's decision directs the Council for Ethics and Government Operations, headed by Ald. Matt Martin (47), to establish a sub -committee accused of “examining the process of appointing members of the Board of Directors in sister agencies and setting best practices related to transparency, accountability and democratic process.”

A quarterly certificate is not required by the agency's heads, as Vasquez did in his decision, as Valencia admitted, but she added: “There will be a new CTA president to come. There will be the new CEO of CPS to come. Are they still doing that? Or will they come kick and scream?”
Former Mayor Ram Emmanuel appointed him to fill the void that was created when Susanna Mendoza was then elected, the state observer, and Valencia was once a rising star in Chicago and Ilinoi's policy with limitless possibilities apparently for a high office, including the mayor or the ruler.
Those great hopes came in her race with the Foreign Minister. She ranked second with 34.4 %, despite the approvals of the JB Pritzker and retired Foreign Minister Jesse White.
Alexei Gianolias won 52.7 % of the initial votes, and continued to win in the fall.
Fine -production donations, Giannoulias now places the basis for the operation of a ruler or race for the mayor against Johnson in 2027.

Wednesday's decision can be a small step towards placing Valencia in another collision with Gianolias in this race. Or it can be just a small step towards restoring the confidence of the audience.
Over the years, the mayors of Chicago have used CTA and RTA panels in particular as political dumping reasons to reward their owners.
Collective transportation experience is rarely the factors in the equation.
In May 2024, Reverend Ira Akri was nominated by the Roads and Transport Authority Council by Johnson, although there is no experience in mass transport. During his confirmation session when he said he was not aware of the $ 730 million financial shelf, which faces mass transportation agencies in the Chicago region.
He later withdrew his name, saying that those who called him unqualified were “opponents of American empowerment.”
