County Board President Toni Preckwinkle’s office said some COVID-19 relief funds are paying for a study of the county’s criminal justice budgets “to identify and shift funding from duplicative or unnecessary areas, or from initiatives that do not match the core mission of a particular agency, into more effective and mission-aligned investments.” Some advocates for reducing the jail population — including Preckwinkle — have suggested shifting funds from Sheriff Tom Dart’s office to address court backlogs and “root causes” of crime ranging from drug addiction to a shortage of low-income housing.

Root causes of crime…. Well, Toni, you daft twit, it’s people who are willing to commit crimes…. Hmmm, Taxwinkle, let’s run this to ground…. One, they suffer from lacking a moral code and…. Oh, 2) THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES TO COMMITTING SUCH ACTS.
Root cause…. She is either stupid or evil…. Maybe both…
Hmm, is this a CPS headline….
But the overhead remains.
NO WONDER THEY ALL LIVE LIKE KINGS AND QUEENS………..
Preckwinkle drooling to shift the surplus of funds into her “ guaranteed income “ and other grift ridden “ pet projects “.
Tom Dart the DIE heretic is going to get his budget cut…
So she is saying we don’t need the jails anymore because everything is working so well…we might as well fund root causes….WTF does that mean? Good God these people need to go.
Those costs pale in comparison to the human costs of preventable violence by repeat offenders.
But that’s a price they are willing to make you pay.
Yeah, well CPS attendance has also shrunk dramatically, are you on board with cutting funds to CPS Toni? By the way, “root cause” is Democrat code for “gimmedamoney”.
