The Council dean, Alderman Ed Burke, closed his last Chicago city council assembly by repeating one of his favorite quotes: “In politics, there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends. Only permanent interests.”
The quote is an interesting commentary on old school Chicago politics. Ed Burke served as alderman in Chicago City Council from 1969 through 2022, and is charged with corruption and will go to trial in November 2023. He was well known for his Chicago power politics.
