Most of America thinks Mayor Daley runs Chicago.Those on the inside know that’s not the case.The man who runs Chicago from behind the scenes,since the early 1990’s, is Alderman Ed Burke,Chairman of Chicago’s Finance Committee.Burke went from being an errand boy for Alderman Roti to the most powerful elected figure in the state of Illinois.In a corrupt state like Illinois,the guy with the most money in his campaign fund is the man at the top.In Illinois,it’s not Chicago’s Mayor Daley or Governor Blagojevich but Alderman Burke.

Thanks for posting that link. An incredibly interesting article....a real eye-opener.....especially for chronic observers of the corrupt Chicago political scene, its history, its players and assorted characters....plus its unbroken string of Democrat mayors since 1931.....yep, almost 80 years of unmatched political machine corruption.
