Corruption runs deep in Niles, Illinois

Niles, Illinois Government is rife with nepotism, fraud and outright corruption.

Community Development Fence Inspector, Dennis O’Donovan, who is also on the Niles Park District Board of Commissioners and his sister Village trustee Danette O’Donovan work there. Nepotism is strong to be certain.

This journalist has filed FOIA requests for illegal and unethical activities by Dennis O’Donovan. Those FOIA requests have been received and are being looked over at the moment.

The Village has given certain FOIA materials, and has no record of any calls, reports or inspections of the pool in question. The director of Community Development, Mr. Charles Ostman, is now making the position that the complaint was ‘anonymous’ and as such, there is no record of it. Of course this claim is a total ruse, and even with an anonymous tip, there is a record of it. The date of the ‘tip’ and subsequent reports, investigations, etc. have been questioned.

We shall see what other bags of tricks Mr. Ostman has up his sleeve to protect the corruption of Mr. Dennis O’Donovan.
