Description

Former 14th Ald. Ed Burke was Chicago’s longest serving councilman. Burke was charged with racketeering, bribery and attempted extortion while serving on city council. These corruption charges landed him two years in prison, $2 million in fines and one year of supervised release.
Reset gets the details on the sentencing and other plans from the Mayor’s office from WBEZ’s city government and politics reporters Tessa Weinberg and Mariah Woelfel.
