Former alderman ed burke reports to prison!

When Alderman Ed Burke was named to be a board member of the Olympic Operating Committee (OOC) if we were awarded the 2016 Olympics, No Games Chicago scorned the idea and immediately issued a strongly worded press release. This story is told in Chapter 24. Mr. Burke reported to prison in Sepember of 2024 and is now Inmate 54698-424.

The other alderman who was to serve on the OCC was Carrie Austin. She was indicted for corruption in 2021 and will stand trial in November of 2025 - although her lawyers are pleading poor health to avoid a trial.
