After a groundswell of calls from his council colleagues to step down over a “bullying” incident at a special City Council meeting last week, Ald. Carlos Ramirez Rosa, 35th, has resigned as Mayor Brandon Johnson’s floor leader and as head of the powerful zoning committee.
Johnson announced the change early Monday, days after a tense special City Council meeting in which the Black Caucus accused Rosa of “physical and verbal harassment.” As floor leader, Rosa has been the mayor’s eyes and ears, helping pass legislation and halt it at Johnson’s behest. Rosa discouraged allies from attending Thursday’s special council meeting in the hopes that not enough members would be present to proceed.
“Tensions were high at a chaotic meeting, and I let that get the best of me, leading me to act in a way unbecoming of a leader,” Rosa said in a statement sent Monday morning. “I sincerely apologize to my colleague, Alderwoman Emma Mitts, for the disrespectful interaction outside of Council Chambers. I also apologize to other colleagues who I have heard also felt disrespected and harmed by my actions — Alderpeople Lee, Cardona, and Taliaferro.” ”I feel awful about everything that happened.
