If there are going to be significant changes in the controversial SAFE-T criminal-justice reform bill, they won’t be coming from County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. In the COVID-19 pandemic, Preckwinkle says, “the society frayed at the edges,” with crime rates up markedly not only in the Chicago area but nationally, including in some very tough law-and-order jurisdictions. What’s needed, she said, is not just law enforcement but “more accountability” by police, the closure of more outstanding criminal cases in Chicago and investment in long-neglected neighborhoods and communities, which she termed “the long-term solution."

I’ll vote for the Libertarian.
That’s a wasted vote.
Well at least she’s consistently stupid.
