“This is a balanced budget that provides equitable services to our residents without any tax or fee increases. “We have faced no shortage of challenges but despite these many difficulties over the last couple of years, we are in a strong financial position,” said President Preckwinkle.
The budget passed unanimously 17-0, following a month of departmental hearings, commissioner questions and amendment proposals. Today, the Cook County Board of Commissioners approved a balanced $9.26 billion FY2024 budget which includes millions in funding for equity programs and pandemic relief without increasing taxes or cutting vital services.
