Corporation Counsel Celia Meza, one of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s closest and most trusted advisers, resigned on Tuesday, continuing the post-election exodus from the lame-duck mayor’s Cabinet.
When her resignation takes effect Friday, Meza will join former Police Supt. David Brown in leaving city government before Tuesday’s runoff election, when Chicago voters will decide whether to make Paul Vallas or Brandon Johnson Chicago’s 57th mayor.
