Burke's been "cooking the books" for years. It was just a matter of time. Maybe him and Rahm can share a jail cell together.

"He has held office since 1969 and is running for re-election to a record 14th term."

Maybe this close to re-election is, perhaps a signal of dissatisfaction from the communities (largely Hispanic) he serves plus the fact that he not only supports the POTUS concerning immigration but is / was looking to lower the RE tax on Trump properties.

Also wondering how Mrs. (Anne) Burke feels about this as she just won retention to another term with the Illinois Supreme court.

The plot thickens.

The Daley Crime Family runs Chicago and Chicago runs Illinois. Madigan is one of their downstate puppets.

It's going to take awhile. Old man Daley and his kid were in power for a very long time. Their roots of corruption and deceit run deep and wide throughout this city.
