Former Ald. Ed Burke still in line for hefty payouts from pension, campaign funds after corruption conviction – Chicago Sun-Times

If the pension board does yank Burke’s $8,027-a-month city pension benefits, he’ll still be refunded the money he contributed toward his pension — more than $540,000, plus interest, minus any payments he’s already collected. Separately, Burke’s wife Anne Burke, the retired Illinois Supreme Court justice, has been collecting a monthly pension of $18,307.30 since December 2022. Former Ald. Danny Solis, who, as an undercover mole wore a wire on Burke to save himself from prosecution, has been collecting a monthly pension of $8,891.52 since May 2019.
