Burris's son got state job from Blago.

And...

Burris Jr. serves as housing authority counsel despite facing foreclosure on his own home. lol

The son of embattled Sen. Roland Burris is a federal tax deadbeat who landed a $75,000-a-year state job under former Gov. Rod Blagojevich five months ago, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.

Blagojevich's administration hired Roland W. Burris II as a senior counsel for the state's housing authority Sept. 10 -- about six weeks after the Internal Revenue Service slapped a $34,163 tax lien on Burris II and three weeks after a mortgage company filed a foreclosure suit on his South Side house.

A spokeswoman for the Illinois Housing Development Authority indicated Wednesday there was nothing improper about Burris II's employment by the agency, whose mission includes overseeing mortgage programs for low-income home buyers and anti-foreclosure initiatives.

What a day in this state, Fast Eddie Vrydolyak walked out of the Dirksen Federal building with a $50K fines and 5 years probation.

Because the judge decided mail fraud was his only crime and the other stuff was because the Fed's did not understand real estate deals and a couple million here or there is all part of real estate.

Fast Eddie was smart to plead guilty if this went to trial all kind of others, and dealing would have come out, not only did he save his skin by pleading guilty but many, many others. Trials are good for uncovering things/people/events.

Yep Burris (D-Lying Weasel) son got a job from G-Rod

Jackie you think Fitz is drinking tonight after Fast Eddie got a pass from the Pokie?

Now now baby Fitz knows he can't win them all. Maybe he'll get more experienced lawyers to help with future cases. Real Estate Law is a speciality within itself. If baby Fitz had the money he could have hired a Real Estate Lawyer to cut through the red tape. It's hard for Fitz as you have get the best help to win the big cases. Look Lisa Lisa doesn't know what she's doing and she's the AG. TGCN drop baby Fitz a line and tell him to ask Eric Holder for help and a bigger budget. If I could help baby Fitz and his team I would.

Now Burris's son is like his Father and this deal for a job was pay to play. More will come out about other deals Burris has made and done with G-Rod.
