Chicago CFO quits citing integrity issues

Ashlee Gabrysch has abruptly resigned as Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s chief financial officer after just three months in the role, citing concerns over financial integrity. Benny Johnson reported her departure, noting that Gabrysch stated remaining in the administration would compromise her integrity and professional obligations. Chicago currently faces a $882 million budget deficit.

Benny Johnson has previously covered financial claims by public figures, including reporting that Ilhan Omar’s $5 million wine company net worth claim was fabricated. In a separate report, he noted Elon Musk’s $1 billion investment in the company that owns CNN, which received support from President Donald Trump. Johnson’s ongoing reporting has focused on financial integrity and transparency within both political and corporate spheres.
