This PR adds a link to Chicago Inside Out to the Resources page of our handbook. I found this piece particularly helpful for explaining the different offices that comprise Cook County, how those offices interact, and the way that property taxes affect the services that each office is able to provide. It also gives an overview of the recent history of the Sheriff, the State's Attorney, the President, and the Assessor, with some good background on the most important political events of the past decade that have affected these offices.
