Last month, Kim Foxx, Cook County State’s Attorney, addressed a luncheon audience which included several politicians and law enforcement agency officials at the City Club of Chicago stating that she supports misdemeanor cannabis expungement in Illinois.

Fox took the first public stance from a Cook County Top Prosecutor in support of Cannabis Expungement of misdemeanor convictions. She supported her statement pointing out that expunging the records would help people trying to gain employment or housing and are struggling because of the misdemeanor charges.
