Toni Preckwinkle, president of the Cook County Board and chair of the Cook County Democratic Party, has been at the center of local politics, power and policy for years, so she has a lot of critical issues to discuss, from COVID struggles at the county's health system and what suburbanites are getting for their federal relief money to three major retirements among county commissioners and what the party might do to replace them, and her worries about big money – specifically Ken Griffin's money – in politics. Preckwinkle also provides an update on the ongoing spat that's pitted county officials against Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Chicago Police Department Superintendent David Brown: the source of the surge in violence locally. Lightfoot says she's gotten nowhere in efforts to address what she says is the big problem: electronic monitoring. That's just garbage, Preckwinkle says, pointing to low arrests and a historic mistrust of cops in neighborhoods. But there's some room for optimism there as well, which she discusses. Also on the agenda: Preckwinkle's thoughts on guaranteed basic income, and why she thinks one of her riskiest political moves – raising the sales tax – was worth it.

Interview with columnist Russ Stewart on Cook County politics Season 3 Episode 9, Oct. 20, 2021 Ray Hanania interviews Russ Stewart who has been covering Chicagoland and Cook County Politics for more than 48 years writing for the Nadig newspaper in the Northwest Side of Chicago. In this podcast, Stewart talks with Hanania about the Cook County Democratic Organization slating that took place this past week and focuses on two key races, challenges to County Assessor Fritz Kaegi and to Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart. Kaegi is vulnerable but Dart seems pretty strong. A total of 72 people appeared before the slating committee seeking the Democratic Party's backing for the election primary that will be held on June 28, 2021. The primary election has been pushed back because of the COVID Coronavirus pandemic. (It's usually held in February and March in election years). The Democratic Party consists of 50 Chicago Ward Committee "persons" and 30 Suburban Township Committee "persons." Stewart argues that the political times have shifted from the dominance once held by White males to female candidates and minorities, especially Latina candidates. The Chairman of the Party is Toni Preckwinkle, who is president of the Cook County Board. Both Kaegi and Dart are being challenged by minority women. Kari Steele, the president of the Metropolitan Water Rec-lamation District (MWRD), is challenging Kaegi. Dat is being challenged by Carmen Navarro Gercone, who is backed by Clerk of Circuit Court Iris Martinez, and LaTonya Ruffin, of Markham, both former sheriff employees.

RUSH: AP: ‘The City Council brushed aside warnings from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to approve an ordinance that makes Chicago the biggest city in the nation to require big-box retailers to pay a ‘living wage.' The ordinance, which passed 35-14 Wednesday after three hours of impassioned debate, requires mega-retailers to pay wages of at least $10 an hour plus $3 in fringe benefits,' $3 in fringe benefits? ‘by mid-2010. It would only apply to companies with more than $1 billion in annual sales and stores of at least 90,000 square feet. ‘It's trying to get the largest companies in America to pay decent wages,' Ald[erman] Toni Preckwinkle said.' No, it's not. ‘The minimum wage in Illinois is $6.50 an hour and the federal minimum is $5.15. Mayor Richard M. Daley and others warned the living wage proposal would drive jobs and desperately needed development from some of the city's poorest neighborhoods and lead giants like Wal-Mart to abandon the city.' It's exactly right. Wal-Mart will ring the city. Wal-Mart will surround the city, but they will not go there. (Laughing.) This has nothing to do with a ‘livable wage.' This has nothing to do with making big companies pay a livable wage. This is all about unions. This is all about the Democrats being loyal to unions. I think the ACORN group was behind this, a huge liberal group.
