Lawyers: Indicted Ald. Carrie Austin ‘Not Medically Fit’ For Trial – NBC5 (Chicago)

Austin was receiving supplemental oxygen during Monday’s City Council meeting when the Council passed Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s $16.4 billion 2023 budget. Austin, who is in her early 70s, is facing a federal bribery indictment alleging she accepted sump pumps, a dehumidifier and kitchen cabinets as kickbacks from a developer overseeing a $50 million development in her ward.

Ed Burke and Mike Madigan will be the next seriously I’ll defendants. The usual ploy of corrupt politicians.
