Kim Foxx’s decision not to seek a third term as state’s attorney sets the stage for a political free-for-all not seen in 15 years in Cook County.
The last time there was an open seat in the prosecutor’s office, it was 2008. Dick Devine, the former first deputy who replaced Richard M. Daley in 1989, announced he would not seek re-election. That set the stage for the election of Devine’s top deputy, Anita Alvarez.
