(Chicago Tribune) — Toni Preckwinkle took a moment Tuesday night to savor her win in the Cook County Board president’s race before beginning the difficult task of digging the county out of its ugly financial situation. “We’ll start putting together a team that will begin mapping out some of the changes that need to be made,” Preckwinkle, 63, a Chicago alderman since 1991, said minutes before going before her supporters to declare victory. “But I’ve been campaigning for 23 months, so I think I get the rest of the night off.”
