Times Are Tough - Share the Pain

Unless of course, you're the aldercreature in charge of Finance, have half a dozen bodyguards making sergeant's pay over an imaginary threat from 20 years ago, and just voted yourself a 6% raise during a recession that the mayor says is causing him to lay off a few thousand people:
  • When times are tough, most people forget about remodeling. If the carpeting has holes and the paint is peeling, they live with it.

    Not Chicago's most powerful alderman. Finance Committee Chairman Edward M. Burke (14th) is freshening up his third-floor suite at City Hall.

    New carpeting is being installed to eliminate the need to cover holes with duct tape. Walls are being re-painted. A "small number" of chairs and cubicles are being replaced.

Always the paragon of class and virtue Eddie is.
