Not that I'm aware of.
Joining the City of Chicago is like joining the USA.
Once you're in, you're motherfucking
IN!
Forever.
The only possible way out is all-out war.
However, over the decades, there have been secession movements of various parts of cook county to splinter off and form their own county.
They never go anywhere. it's usually because some right-wingers get all hot and bothered about some new county tax, so they throw a little tantrum, then the anger starts to flame out, and the effort eventually fizzles. Life goes on.....
I do remember reading an article a little while ago that some folks in the wealthy Buckhead area of Atlanta want to splinter off from the city and form their own municipality.
I don't know how "real" that movement is or if it'll go anywhere. Someone from the Atlanta area would have to give more insight.
