Burke’s law license served alongside her. “It is a most Chicago and most Illinois of absurdities that you have identified,” Civic Federation President Joe Ferguson said when asked about the Supreme Court’s surprising incapacity to discipline the former alderman.
How in the world does this guy keep a Law License and state Pension when he was found guilty of corruption? How in the world does that make sense? The level of corruption and manipulation in Illinois is unprecedented. We will see what kind of sentence he gets…if it follows here…should be probation…and release… Ridiculous. .
Chicago/Cook County/ Illinois are called the most corrupt places in the country for no reason

ALWAYS VOTE BLUE, NO MATTER WHO!!!
Ann Burke ran for the Supreme Court unopposed in 2008. UNOPPOSED! She won her retention bid in 2018 with 81.1% of the vote!
Remember folks, when you always vote blue, no matter who, you enable the most corrupt jerkwads in the state to cheat, lie, and steal from you. But that’s just the way your blue haired communist neighbor likes it, because abortion or something.
