CBS 2's Chris Tye spoke with the open house attendees about what was on their minds ahead of their meet-and-greet with the new occupant of the fifth-floor office.
Johnson was sworn in at noon, and was whisked soon afterward from the University of Illinois Chicago campus to City Hall with his family in tow. They made a quick beeline up to the fifth floor."It feels pretty nice," Johnson told CBS 2's Chris Tye said as he walked into City Hall.
Those at the open house wanted to ensure the new administration is off on the right foot – and to ensure their concerns are taken directly to the fifth floor.Some who met with the mayor one-on-one came with tough, pointed questions. Others wanted a photo op, while others still just wanted to wish him well.
"I love this city, and I want to talk to him to see how thinks he's going to make it better - and how urban planners, and anybody else who care deeply about this city, can be a part of that," said Ezra Landman-Feigelson, an urban planning major at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign."Oh, his message to the city - that he's going to work for everyone. He's everyone's Mayor, South Side, West Side, North Side – everybody's included," Collymore said.
The mood was celebratory Monday, but make no mistake - this time, Mayor Johnson was on the clock working.
