[ChicagoSunTimes] Mayor Johnson's chief financial officer abruptly resigns. In her resignation letter, Ashlee Gabrysch said she felt compelled to quit because “to continue in this role would be to compromise my integrity and professional obligations.”
Gabrysch issued a statement saying she was unwilling to compromise her financial integrity. She did not reveal what it was she was asked to do that would have damaged her reputation...
"As the City of Chicago's Chief Financial Officer, there is nothing more important than my fiduciary duty to the City and its taxpayers. The Chief Financial Officer's statements about city finances are not idle chatter: they are relied upon by investors, ratings agencies, City Council, and taxpayers. The CFO must act scrupulously to ensure they are always accurate and complete,"..
"... to continue in this role would be to compromise my integrity and professional obligations. I therefore have concluded that I must step down from my role, and hereby tender my resignation."
