Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle on Thursday, Oct. 5, presented a proposed $9.14 billion Executive Budget Recommendation for Fiscal Year 2024, which includes millions in funding for equity programs and pandemic relief without increasing taxes or cutting vital services.
Preckwinkle noted that the County was able to close a $161.8 million budget gap, one of the smallest gaps in her tenure as President, without the need for raising any new taxes, fines or fees.
