Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy Friday announced plans to reduce or eliminate city-funded security for city officials, including for powerful Ald. Ed Burke.
“After completing a review, it has been determined that the officials who have security paid for by the city require less or no protection,” McCarthy said in a written statement released Friday afternoon. “Most of the police officers will go back on the street at a savings of $650,000 to the taxpayers.”
Now can we get around to reducing the actual aldercreatures?
