I know nothing of Chicago or its politics, but this:
representing clients with ties to the mob and making millions through consulting services for suburban city governments.
seems a bit NPOV without very good supporting evidence. Gerry Lynch 16:32, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
- I agree - this article needs to be re-written with a less POV slant! 209.145.162.130 21:40, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Anyone now where he was born where he was raised, either just before or during law school he was charged with murder he was not convicted anyone know the circumstances? Allegations of mob connections are part of his persona even thou no criminal charges or wrong doing ever proven. Is I think proper to be mentioned.
Historically Chicago was very corrupt, some say it still is. Some say Illinois is corrupt. Our former Governor is on trial right now for alleged corruption dating as far back as when he was Secretary of State. Several high-ranking members of the current Daley administration are under Federal indictment or investigation. How far up will it go? Ask the FBI. Our elected City Treasurer was just indicted last week. Even Judges in the recent past (last 20 years) convicted of taking bribes. Some might say he simply worked the system as it existed. So all in all you have to mention some of this in the context the info was written I don’t think it is NPOV. Even Eddie knows and deals with the allegations, he says they are untrue but they exist and therefore have to be mentioned! They are facts only insofar as there are allegations.

[edit] NPOV tag August 2006
A user has put an NPOV tag on this page as of August 16, 2006. This is one of the first pages I edited on Wikipedia and I have tried to keep an eye on it. I think it is pretty balanced at this point, but if people have specific NPOV concerns please raise them so we can address them. Thanks!! TMS63112 04:10, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Two undisputed facts should be added to this profile.
First, he was asked to sit out a year of law school at U of Chicago while he was defending himself on charges of manslaughter.
Second, he made his first fortune representing the families of the victims of an Illinois Central commuter train crash. One of the two trains involved in the crash originated on the Southeast side of Chicago and carried a number of passengers from his neighborhood.
