    Anti gun guy has to turn in his 23 registered handguns, I wonder how many unregistered ones he has. His wife is a Illinois supreme court judge and very big in the catholic church.

    Nothing new here other than he's in the news for being caught. Just business as usual in shakedown city.

    Are there a series of "suicides" to follow?

    His former political allies are cutting him loose. If they have the evidence (and federal prosecutors generally do not seek indictment unless they do), he's going down. He will take Preckwinkle's mayoral campaign with him.

    Preckwinkle? I think that's going to be my new derogatory term to call people. :):

    "Did you really just say that? You're such a preckwinkle!"

    I don't doubt that she is at least as filthy as he is, she will get a little stink on her but i still predict she will be the next Mayor

    For decades, the Southwest Side alderman has used his iron grip on the City Council’s Finance Committee and key role in slating Cook County judges to build a massive amount of political capital.Burke, who recently marked a record 50th year in office, often decides whether Chicago’s most important legislation will move forward. He controls millions of dollars in campaign funds. He is the sole steward of the city’s $100 million workers’ compensation program. And he plays a crucial role in redrawing the city’s ward maps — a key in maintaining political power amid shifting demographics.

    All together now: "THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!"

    Probably not, because she gave back the $10K or 6.5k (although not reporting it, as is required by law). The not reporting part will get glossed over, and for giving it back she will get a media medal. I have no idea if she can win, with or without this glitch.

    I think everyone in Chicago politics gets at least a little stink on them.
