The Chicago Tribune reports:
The Better Government Association filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Chicago Police Department alleging that the agency wrongfully denied the nonprofit's Freedom of Information Act request for records related to Ald. Edward Burke's security detail.No word yet whether Alderman Burke will actively fight this lawsuit now that former ABC reporter Andy Shaw runs the Better Government Association. Also, no word yet on whether Travis Burke has ever been driven to school by Alderman Burke's "security detail".
The organization filed the FOIA request in August, requesting the names of the officers assigned to Burke and their titles, salaries, time sheets, reports and expenses. In a September response, the police department called the request "unduly burdensome."
