City Comptroller Chasse Rehwinkel has announced he's resigning from that post to take a job with Devon Bank.
Rehwinkel will become CFO of the community bank, which has locations in Chicago as well as in Glenview and Wheeling.
"In my career I have been blessed to working as the Chicago Comptroller as well as State Bank Director — amongst other amazing opportunities. I’ve met some truly amazing people and worked on incredible things," Rehwinkel posted on X Monday afternoon.
"But the time has come for the next adventure!" his post continued. "I’m excited to join a new team, but will always be thankful for the many amazing public servants I’ve worked with in my career."
Rehwinkel, and the rest of Mayor Brandon Johnson's leadership team, had just endured a protracted budget process that saw the City Council flatly reject Johnson's original proposal of a $300 million property tax increase.
The budget passed last week contained no property tax increase.
In the news release touting the budget's approval, Rehwinkel was quoted as saying: “This plan ensures Chicagoans can count on their government to deliver full, uninterrupted services. From keeping streets clean to ensuring safe and healthy neighborhoods, we are committed to upholding the trust our residents place in us every day.”
Details on Rehwinkel's departure, including his last official day in office, were not immediately available.
