(NYT) — The bill is about to come due on Roland W. Burris’s short stint as a United States senator, and close friends and advisers say that the debt he has racked up in legal bills and other expenses is taking a toll on him personally.
When Senator Burris, a former Illinois state comptroller, leaves office in a few months, he will come home with at least $649,115 in debts related to his being named to the post by former Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich, according to federal financial disclosure filings.
