Chicagoist is featuring a series of interviews with Fourth Ward Alderman Toni Preckwinkle, who has led the ward since 1991. She’s viewed by many as a major contester for president in the 2010 Cook County Board election against incumbent Todd Stroger. In the first interview, posted today, she talks about development, the Olympics, and the empty 47th Street Co-op fortress that Andrew talked about yesterday. (Coincidence?!)
