Alderman Ed Burke’s Offices
In January, longstanding Chicago Alderman Ed Burke was charged with attempted extortion in federal court. During raids in November, it was revealed that federal agents removed twenty-three firearms from his offices. Burke’s aldermanic record, ironically, is ardent about gun control, from broadening the gun offender registry to supporting a ban on weapons in establishments that serve alcohol. (Tanner Woodford)
