Cook County Government Looks to Balance Budget With ObamaCare Funds

Crain's Chicago Business reports:
Less than a month before she faces voters again, Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle today is unveiling what sure looks like a re-election budget, a $3.99 billion spending plan that she says includes no new taxes, fines or fees.

Full details will not be available until later today, but it appears Ms. Preckwinkle relied heavily on reduced spending on the county's health care system. With Obamacare picking up much of the tab that used to be paid by county taxpayers alone
Got that? Cook County Democrats expect federal taxpayers to pay for their "crap sandwich".
