I am back and I am focusing on Pay to Play this week.
The first agenda item includes the bills of the week. At tonight's board meeting, Roger Claar will pass a lucrative contract to Flala for road work.

| Historic Street Resurfacing | $250,000 | James D. Flala Paving Company, Inc. | $197,404.60 |
James D. Flala Paving just gave a donation as well. (See state board of elections campaign donations)

Citizens for Claar
I wonder if Fiala was notified of the following law first...
Business Registration/Prohibited Contributions
Business entities that have a total of more than $50,000 in contracts and/or bids for contracts
with the State of Illinois must register with the State Board of Elections. Information on this
registration process, required by Public Act 95-0971, is available on our website at
http://www.elections.il.gov/. Other questions can be directed to the chief procurement officer responsible for
awarding the contract(s).

committees formed to promote the candidacy of the officeholder(s) or any other declared candidate
for the office responsible for awarding the contract(s). The prohibition is in effect during the bidding
process for the contract(s) or, if the business is awarded the contract -- during the term of office of the
officeholder or for a period of two years following the expiration of the contract (whichever is longer).
For complete details, please refer to Public Act 95-0971.
Additionally, any business entity required to register under the Act is required to notify any
political committee to which it makes a contribution that it is registered with the State Board of
Elections under Section 20-160 of the Illinois Procurement Code.
In my opinion, I would call this pay to play and breaking the campaign laws.... What do you think?
Why does the public 'Bolingbrookites,' keep voting these "crooks" in? I believe its because they were not informed. Well Bolingbrookites - Now you're informed. No excuses anymore. You set the stage.
