After mayoral loss, Preckwinkle reviews future

Last March, County Board President Toni Preckwinkle told the Sun-Times that the term she wound up being elected to in November would be her last. On Wednesday, Preckwinkle refused to say whether that is still the plan.

"You know, I'm looking forward to the next four years," Preckwinkle said when asked if this term would be her last. "We've got a lot on our plate, starting with, frankly, our work on the Census. Billions of dollars are at stake not just for us in the county but every taxing body within the county all the cities towns and villages all the school districts and not to mention our congressional delegation."

Beyond raising awareness on the Census to make sure everyone is counted, Preckwinkle listed focusing on the county's health care and criminal justice reform efforts and economic development in the south suburbs as chief among her concerns.
