Burris a man of high ambition and a grand mausoleum
Burris, 71, has erected a monumental mausoleum engraved with TRAIL BLAZER and a resume of achievements including Chicago influences and a stated U.S. Senator goal. Critics call his ego huge, while supporters frame the Senate appointment as public service, noting his historic role as Illinois’ first black statewide official. The controversy centers on Blagojevich’s appointment and Burris’s political calculations amid past election losses.
