Mayor Brandon Johnson held a break-the-ice phone call with Bears President Kevin Warren on Wednesday in hopes of establishing a rapport with the NFL team that former Mayor Lori Lightfoot never had.
“We have to restore some confidence and order and calm in the city. We have to have conversations. And, unfortunately, when it comes to many dynamics in the city of Chicago, conversations break down because people have vested interests and they might get in their feelings a little bit,” Johnson told reporters hours before the introductory phone call.
