A majority of the Chicago City Council is calling for the resignation or firing of CTA President Dorval Carter. The resolution, introduced by Aldermen Matt Martin and Andre Vasquez, has garnered the support of 29 aldermen, nearly three-fifths of the council. The call for Carter's ouster is driven by a perceived need for new leadership to address current challenges. Mayor Brandon Johnson has been called upon to act on this matter. The symbolic call now has enough support to pass in the City Council if it holds. However, the measure faces potential delays if it is referred to the rules committee. Despite the significant support, the resolution has been stalled at City Hall.

Some absolutely wild quotes in @LeighGiangreco's piece today on city council's call for CTA president Dorval Carter's ouster. Alders talking about not wanting to "take food off the table" of a public servant making $376k a year to run critical infrastructure. Good grief. https://t.co/hK81Yoxr9M
