The Chicago Park District Board on Wednesday granted Interim CEO Rosa Escareno a 30-day extension — until May 31 — one day after Escareno told the Sun-Times she would welcome the opportunity to be ousted CEO Mike Kelly’s permanent replacement.
Asked to respond on Tuesday to Escareno’s desire to keep the $230,000-a-year job, Mayor Lori Lightfoot had praised the interim CEO to the hilt.
