Jurors and law enforcement officials will be spared having to pay a parking fee at Cook County courthouses after all.
County Board President Toni Preckwinkle had recommended that drivers pay a $4.75 daily charge at the courthouses as part of her budget proposal. Some county commissioners balked at the prospect of jurors having to pay to park while fulfilling a civic duty.
On Tuesday, county officials announced jurors and law enforcement officers would get their parking validated instead.
We heard Preckwinkle is actually starting a "Bureau of Parking Validation" so she can have a few extra payrollers working the phones on Election Day.
