Four former employees of the mayor's team were fired then put on the list for reasons that two aldermen say fall well short of what the list was intended for.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s pensions are worth an estimated $3.8 million after only four years as a teacher and one term as mayor. It could go even higher, depending on his next job moves.

The staffers were placed on the list by former communications head Ronnie Reese, who now stands accused of sexual harassment and misogyny.
