Fioretti reaches out to suburban voters

Bob Fioretti, candidate for Cook County Board president, will hold a fundraiser and meet-and-greet with residents of the suburbs on Tuesday Feb. 27, 2018.

The reception will be held from 7 pm until 9 pm at the Brookfield Ale House 8900 Fairview in Brookfield, Illinois.

Fioretti was an outspoken critic of the oppressive one cent per ounce tax imposed by incumbent Toni Preckwinkle, which targeted suburban consumers.
