Vallas won't run for Cook Co. office

By ABC7
June 11, 2009 (CHICAGO) Vallas told the Chicago Sun-Times he has decided to renew his contract as chief of the recovery school district in New Orleans.

Vallas had contemplated a return to Illinois in order to run for Cook County president - possibly as a Republican.

Vallas told the Sun-Times he feels he has too much work to do in New Orleans to justify leaving his post.
