The [Monday] Papers"Streets and Sanitation plows deviated from their normal course to clear a path to Ald. Ed Burke's fortress-like house after a major winter storm last year, City Hall's inspector general said Monday," the Sun-Times reports. "[I]nvestigators found snow-removal crews hit the powerful City Council member's block on West 51st Street 46 times in five days after the fifth-largest winter storm in Chicago history paralyzed traffic on many local streets on Super Bowl Sunday last year." So Burke's block was plowed nine times a day, on average - quite possibly more often than Rahm Emanuel yells at his police chief. Ferguson suggested the practice of favoring Burke's block without reason had been going on for a long time, saying he found it "equally concerning" that an unidentified supervisor in Streets and San "was untroubled by the appearance of preferential treatment and assumed the route deviation was expected as a past practice." It was all just a welter of fundamental misunderstandings. Or, more like, a welter of fundamental understanding. "A spokesman for Burke, who has been alderman for 47 years, did not respond to requests for comment Monday." Perhaps he was hashing out the precise wording of his apology. Burke's spokesman, Donal Quinlan, says no strings were pulled. As Quinlan is now aware, as if he needed an inspector general to tell him, Burke's block is not an arterial street. Or maybe he meant to say aldermanic streets get plowed faster. It's just understood. Trumping Rauner Bruce Rauner may not be a politician, but he sure plays one on TV. * Seriously, it's not asking too much to want to know if the governor of the state is in lockstep with a fascist neo-Nazi serial lying sociopath. This is the time to find out where everybody really stands. *
So there you go. * Not everyone is being shy - or cowardly.
