Not only is the Senate Ethics Committee investigating Burris, but so is the Sangamon County state's attorney. The latter is looking into perjury allegations against the South Side Chicago Democrat.Two days ago the Chicago Sun-Times revealed that the newly formed Office of Congressional Ethics is investigating another South Sider, Rep.
