| Description | Preckwinkle has proposed a budget that spends $100 million less than the county spent two years ago.
She is revamping the county's health system, as we discuss in another editorial on this page.
She is reducing the number of youths who are housed at the county's juvenile detention facility.
She is increasing productivity at the county Highway Department.
She is beefing up resources for the county's inspector general.
She is paying the county's bills in more timely fashion.
She has cut county staffing by 1,500 jobs.
She has transitioned Oak Forest Hospital into a regional outpatient center.
She has been lobbying for pension reform in Springfield.
When she unveiled her 2013 budget last week, she made a point of emphasizing its "structural" changes. No one-time fixes. No windfall parking meter deals. No fuzzy math |
