The Watchdogs: Reputed drug kingpin played the City Hall game - Chicago Sun-Times


Well, well, well. Why am I not surprised to see Alderman Burke's name in this article? Could this be a reason for him having "Police Protection" at the tax payers expense? I for one sure would, when dealing with people of this nature. Wouldn't you?

This article really speaks a lot about our intelligence collection method law enforcement implements. Burke sits on committees that should have been made aware of this person's status. Yet all we get is the good old "I had no idea excuse". The guy lived in your ward dude! Isn't Burke on the Police, and Fire Committee? Why are our elected leaders not getting such information? It makes sense if you really have nothing to hide.

One would think it is a good practice to do a little background check on people coming in your office, or donating money, to have a little insight on who, or whom you are dealing with. Hey elected, and running for office officials, we have a security problem in Chicago with all these gangs running rampant. Ever heard of holding Briefings with Law Enforcement?

It might enlighten you.
