Ancel Glink - the law firm providing ongoing legal services to the Village of Lisle - gives a $1500.00 political contribution to "Citizens for Broda" on 4/7/2009 (deposited on same day as the election)
Broda won the election by 233 votes.
Should elected officials accept political contributions from attorneys that seek to benefit with a contract from the public body?
From the Village of Lisle's Statement of Policy and Code of Ethics:
"Public employees must conduct themselves in such a manner as to foster public confidence in the integrity of the Village of Lisle's procurement practice."
"Never discriminate unfairly by the dispensing of special favors or privileges to anyone, whether as payment for services or not; and never accept for himself or herself or for family members, favors or benefits under circumstances which might be construed by reasonable persons as influencing the performance of governmental duties."
"Avoid the intent and appearance of unethical or compromising practice in relationships, actions and communications."
There are no ethics in Lisle Village Hall.
ReplyDeleteAll of them need to go.
Let's all say "goodbye" to Broda-lacky Ed Young at the next election.
