Crime and possible ramifications of the SAFE-T Act are the primary concerns among voters in Cook County’s 17th District, according to the incumbent commissioner and his challenger.
Supporters hold signs during a news conference regarding the Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today, or SAFE-T, act, which eliminates cash bonds for certain offenses.
Morrison is challenged by Democrat Dan Calandriello, a former Cook County assistant state’s attorney who has a private law practice in Palos Hills.“As a former prosecutor, I know how the county needs to react to the SAFE-T Act, to get the evidence needed so we can keep people in jail,” Calandriello said. “I know the ins and outs of the system.”
He was elected to a full term in 2018, and in this past June’s Republican primary defeated Gorman. He lives in Palos Park with his wife and two daughters and is founder and chief executive of Alsip-based Morrison Security Corp. County commissioners are paid $85,000, but earlier this year approved a 10% increase, bumping the salary to $93,500, starting with the next term. Morrison was among a handful of commissioners voting against the increase, which also calls for regular annual pay increases of up to 3%.
Foxx blamed many of the resignations as part of the great resignation that occurred nationwide as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.out of the 1,432 positions budgeted for this year. Of 746 budgeted assistant state’s attorney positions, 107 are vacant, Foxx’s office said. “We need incentives to keep those senior attorneys and do a better job of bringing in new talent,” he said.At the end of the third quarter, Morrison showed total receipts during the July-September period of more than $361,000, including a personal loan to his campaign of $100,000 at the end of August, according to campaign financial disclosures.
