Morris for Cook County President Eyes Big System Overhaul
Joe Morris a Reagan era attorney seeks Cook County Board president with a plan to reinvent county government. He calls for consolidating nonpolicy offices into the executive wing, selling county hospitals, dissolving townships and MWRD duties, and creating a County Charter Commission to draft a new county constitution. He links rising violence to abortion and urges shifting crime control to families and clergy. He vows a pre-fiscal-year budget and to pressure Democrats with a presidential veto.
