Welcome to Prison Ed

See you in twenty-to-twenty-four months:

• Legendary Chicago City Councilman Ed Burke is just days from his surrender to federal prison.

  Burke served as a Chicago alderman from 1969 to 2023: a total of 54 years and more than anyone in city history.

  On Monday, the once-powerful chairman of the City Council Finance Committee will become prisoner No. 53-698-424.

He was hoping to serve his time in Wisconsin near his family's lake house, but that portion of Oxford closed a while back, so he's hoping for (and was recommended by the judge) for Terra Haute, Indiana. 

We'll see on Monday where to send the Christmas cards.
