Mayor Lightfoot said the past is in the past.
"Yeah there is no more to say about that. I said what I said the other day, something I should not have said out loud and I think we have bigger fish to fry," she said.
She made the comments during a presentation at the Chicago Lighthouse for the blind on the West Side. Lightfoot is in the midst of negotiating a new contract with the police union. Their last contract expired two years ago.
