From the Editorial Board: It’s been nine months since Brandon Johnson became mayor of Chicago. It only seems far longer. Our biggest concern, only growing, is the managerial incompetence of this administration. The latest example is ShotSpotter.

Excellent use of our helicopter to fight carjacking. I want the city to invest in new, cheaper-to-maintain, helicopters for CPD. They’re the best weapon there is to attack record breaking, citywide carjackings. L.A. has a fleet of 17. NYC has 8. Chicago has 1 working, 1 broken.
