Spaying/neutering pets keeps them healthier, safer and reduces pet over-population at shelters.

SUN-TIMES — “We were able to close this gap despite the refrain that we couldn’t do it,” Morrison said. “Through cuts and rightsizing, we’re making 2018 a new era for our government.” That new era will include continued scrutiny to how the county spends its money. Boykin and Morrison both said more could have been cut from the budget, especially...
I want to thank the Lemont residents who came down yesterday to testify at the Cook County Zoning & Building Committee Meeting to help successfully fight and defeat the Zoning Map Amendment application for a trucking company that was illegally running its business operations on residential property in unincorporated Lemont Township (17th District) in violation of Cook County ordinances. Your...
By Grace Wong A food composting plant won approval from Cook County commissioners Wednesday despite opposition from nearby residents who fear it will be bad for the environment and their property values. Some opponents shouted their disapproval to commissioners after they voted 11-2 in committee in favor of the Patriot Acres facility, which is planned on a site along the Des Plaines River...

This is why I voted NO on the 2020 Cook County Budget (the only NO vote). Instead of increased spending, I wanted Cook County to seize the opportunity and hold the 2020 Budget flat and apply an additional $330 Million to the pension debt. Now, Cook County's bond rating has been lowered.
Cook County bond rating slips a notch due to underfunded pension obligation
The ratings help determine the interest rates at which the county borrows money. The better the credit ratings, the lower the interest rate.amen sean... unsustainable salary and benefit packages (especially pensions) not available in private sector results in the EXPENSE side ledger being solidly out of whack relative revenues which are more than sufficient to support government
Of COURSE! We ALL know this to be true AND a real "problem" that this Gov. "Porcelain Prince" doesn't want to tackle! 😠
Does that mean it will cost the County more money to borrow future money?
Hey Sean thank you for representing the people. You can only try man.
Thanks for trying.
You are our voice! Thank you!!!!
I wish all of Crook County would go to jail. Sean keep on their tails.
Not surprised
They all belong in prison.
“They’re indicative of the oversized, bloated government we have and how none of the leaders from the majority party are working to reduce noncritical government spending,” Morrison told Chicago City Wire.”
“There’s no political will to cut nonessential programs and expenditures. You don’t have to be an economist to understand if you keep raising costs, you’re going to have to keep raising fees to cover it.”
I completely appreciate everything you do for Cook County and the Southland! Thanks for trying to fight them every step of the way!
The thing for me is business has to be profitable enough to operate with costs they can not control. Lowering the costs of government taxes are one of the few ways that are left for us to help the business community grow and prosper. Where else can we look to make it financially better for small to medium size companies succeed?
Need to get rid of Madigan and Pritzker. Then drain the swamp in Springfield and Crook county!.
Make Chicago its own county put it on the ballot
I moved to AZ 14 years ago. It’s a great place to live and raise a family. A 3000 sq foot house my taxes are 2100 a year. An investment show on a AM station in AZ says Illinois is going to go bankrupt and it’s inevitable. Horrible management and the infrastructure is crumbling.
I do agree. There is some waste. But the money saved should be reallocated to programs that need money. I don’t see money being saved. I see money being better spent.
You people are a Economic disaster !
Ill in ois!
Sean M. Morrison isn't it a little late to toss stones?
Moving out of Crook County Soon
on target, go get um.
Exactly
Amen.
True!!!
Keep up the good fight.
terrible - it's the government
Well Done Sean M. Morrison!!!
It’s the Democrat’s way. Keep raising taxes! 🤬
Someone NEEDS to tell the GD DEMS of Chicago that "the PARTY" is OVER! 👎🤬 AND the GOP NEEDS to get "all over this!" TIME TO FIGHT BACK!!! Fight for the People of ILLINOIS! 🤬😠

Apprenticeship programs in construction and other trades have long been seen as a pathway to good-paying jobs without the expense of a college degree.
A new study suggests they also rival the performance of state colleges and universities in terms of training hours, graduation rates, diversity and lifetime earnings for graduates.
