Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle unveils $10.1B election year budget, tapping reserves – Chicago Tribune

Sticking with a now yearslong trend, Preckwinkle’s proposal does not include any new taxes, fines or fees, and eliminates a projected $211 million shortfall thanks in large part to better-than-expected revenues. The county is projecting a nearly $300 million deficit in 2027 and $402.2 million in 2028.
