The cuts that Preckwinkle wants him to make are in non law enforcement line items, his workers comp claims fund, his corrections overtime fund, and his NON SWORN personnel. Good news is there won't be additional hires in the police unit, bad news less unincorporated areas to patrol more police personnel to move to areas he has special interest in..

First thought that entered my mind when I heard his budget was getting slashed. But then I realized that the new felony penalties make it advantageous for him to go after repeat offenders, agencies, and the like. Lots of revenue to be collected with the right targets.
