The Scandal and the Special Class in Chicago

The Chicago Sun-Times reports on recently indicted political bigwig James Laski:
"He has blown a good gig," said state Rep. Daniel J. Burke (D-Chicago), a former deputy clerk under Laski and Kozubowski.

"How many people have four police officers assigned to drive them and their families around?" Burke said. "Very unfortunate. It's just like Kozubowski in terms of someone who did not appreciate the privilege that they were offered in that office. To think they would abuse their authority is very unfortunate."
That's right a politician that most people in Chicago couldn't name has four police officers acting as chauffeurs to drive them around.That's the Chicago Way.
