In reply to the discussion: Republican Forest Preserve Official Goes Cuckoo [View all]Change is Coming
(5 posts)Many concerned citizens have made public comment about the no-bid contracts up to $500,000 that king pierotti awards to his favorite contractors - only to be told that the State makes the forest preserve get no-bid contracts. What an asshole pierotti must be...who would believe that. I think he has said it so many times, and he only listens to himself talk, that he really believes it. The State reg says you can, not that you must. I guess the forest preserves overpaid general counsel that makes $400,000 for a part time job was really read between the lines on this one to help his employer - king pierotti. These no-bid contracts allow the king pierotti leand board to over pay for work and then for king pierotti and other board members to accept campaign contributions from those same no-bid contracts reciptiants. This are local election so the money is not that great, but in one fund raiser during the 2010 election he raised about $35,000 and $28,000 was from vendors that do no-bid contract work with king pierotti and "his" forest preserve. The forest preserve is the most corrupt governmental organization in DuPage County....must be an embrassment to the repubs to see the FBI and the BGA are investigating the all republican run forest preserve. It is time for a change....let's vote out all incumbents. The new board members will not have ties to king pierotti and just perhaps we could make the world a better place....remember to vote and vote out the old guard and those political insiders with family deep into politics.
