COOK COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MEETING
January 13, 2022-10:00 a.m. The one and a half hours of public comments at the meeting focused on two main areas: those advocating for continued/increased funding to social agencies and to those opposed to the Cook County Health Department mandate pressing for vaccination and for masking/social distancing.
The remainder of the agenda was passed without a great deal of discussion.

Although there was some repetition, the Sheriff and the Commissioners are very concerned as his department might be facing $90 million in cuts from his current $600 million budget.
