A mayoral insider is taking the helm of the City Colleges of Chicago board today.
Mayor Richard Daley announced last month that Gery Chico would join the City Colleges board and become its chair. Chico served as Daley’s chief of staff and has headed the boards of the city’s school district and park system.
The City Council confirmed Chico on Wednesday. Praise came from no fewer than 23 aldermen, including the 48th Ward’s Mary Ann Smith.
