The Regional Transit Authority honored one of their own at their monthly meeting this morning: former RTA board member and Chicago School Board President Michael Scott.
Scott's body was found on the banks of the Chicago River near the Merchandise Mart earlier this week.
Before proceeding with business, board member Jim Reilly called for a moment of silence in Scott's honor.
Though his chair was empty during the board's meeting, a vase of flowers sat behind his nameplate.
Scott had been a member of the RTA's board since 2008.
