Mob Connected Chicago Alderman Gets Surprise Birthday Party

Mob connected Alderman Bernie Stone turned 80 years old.Here's what Alderman Ed Burke and Mayor Daley had to say about Alderman Stone:

Ald. Ed Burke (14th) called Stone a “giant of the City Council’’ who is “one of the most intelligent, long-serving, bright members.’’

Mayor Daley said he had “utmost respect’’ for the vice mayor and signed a birthday wish across the forehead of a large picture of Stone’s face.

In Chicago, even "made members" of the Mafia can be elected officials and honored by the community.
