Ed Burke acted as if he was losing coverage with his cell phone while talking to reporters about the $17,000 in free insurance he received from Michael Segal.
Best part of the article:
Burke was notified he was getting free insurance. He started paying for it after Segal was arrested in 2002, according to testimony
Second best,
On Friday, when a reporter called the Finance Committee chairman on his cell phone to ask about the free insurance, the City Council’s most powerful alderman appeared to hide behind his cell phone.
”Hellooo? Hellooo??” Burke said, as if he didn’t hear the question, before hanging up.
A follow-up call to his cell phone seconds later went unanswered. He didn’t return a voice-mail message.
But did the phone ring or go directly into the voice mail?
