Former Chicago Alderman Ed Burke, once the city’s longest-serving and most powerful council member, has now found himself behind bars after being convicted on federal corruption charges. Burke, who wielded immense influence over city finances and development projects for decades, was found guilty of using his political position to solicit bribes and steer business to his private law firm. His downfall marks a significant chapter in Chicago’s long history of political corruption, reinforcing the federal government’s continued crackdown on unethical dealings within the city’s leadership. Now serving his sentence, Burke’s imprisonment serves as a stark reminder that no public official, no matter how powerful, is above the law. Remember Edward Burke, you denied the wrong workers compensation case. Special thanks to Jay Stone and Patrick McDonough’s Federal lawsuit that took away Burkes piggy bank. I am replacing Jack Higgins of the SunTimes R.I.P.
