From the Editorial Board: We believe Toni Preckwinkle has been an effective fiscal steward of Cook County, overall, and a competent manager in the massive county’s various areas of jurisdiction, from corrections to transportation to public health.
Toni Preckwinkle is as tough as any old-school Chicago pol of her generation.
But in the case of the SAFE-T Act experiment, there are both the intent and the unintended but likely consequences to consider, especially in the short term. Preckwinkle, who has vehemently defended Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, should also be advocating vociferously for foolproof safeguards that will stop dangerous criminals from returning to the streets, not seeming to relish some kind of comeuppance for the affluent.
Preckwinkle did not promise to have the bills out by the end of the year, although she suggested it would be likely. She also said that it will likely take “another cycle or two” for this “computer” issue to be solved and that arrangements have been made to help any needy agencies expecting revenue to get bridging loans. That’s thin gruel, though, for taxpayers. And even if there is little Preckwinkle can do at this point, this is all on her watch.
