One of Chicago’s longest-serving Democratic lawmakers convicted of racketeering, bribery and attempted extortion
…also known in the Windy City as "The Emperor," has been convicted of…well…
The 79-year-old Democrat was convicted on 13 of the 14 charges leveled against him in a 2019 federal indictment accusing the veteran Chicago City Council member of using his position to steer business from private developers to his law firm.At the New York Post they think this is news, the poor dears.
[The moniker "Slow Eddie" was necessary because "Fast Eddie" was already taken by one Edward Vrdolyak, another Chicago alderman, who earned his prison time for tax evasion.]
