Last Mon.,LarryBoy failed in his most blatant-Blago-Pay-to-Play scam...
Let's go back a moment to pre-election,budget-crisis mode,when Alds. Wasco and Thompson-Kelly were asking tough questions about the shell game LarryBoy was playing to attempt to with cutting firetruck manning....anyway,then remarkably,this fabulous "WestStateDevelopment" project was introduced(anchored by an OSF Medical Facility)...And just like THAT,Ann Thompson-Kelley fell silent,(well,except when she endorsed LarryBot JohnSweepin'Weaver over fellow Democrat Linda Mcneely)
Which leads to...

..." News and notes from the May 11 Rockford City Council meeting

When Ald. Pat Curran (R-2) moved to adopt a resolution to issue requests for proposals (RFPs) from Rockford’s three hospitals for Fire Department emergency medical training, Ald. Joe Sosnowski (R-1) proposed an amendment that would eliminate the bid process.

Per Sosnowski’s amendment, the city would negotiate a five-year agreement directly with OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center for the training, specifically because the city has entered into a development agreement with John Anderson, who plans an ambitious $65 million mixed-use development project on West State Street between Pierpont and Springfield avenues.

“It smacks of politics,” Curran asserted, arguing the bid process is a normal part of city business.... Ald. Ann Thompson-Kelly (D-7) said she doesn’t see it that way, however...."

Yeah,LarryBoy didn't EITHER...give it away,kids...
why go out for bids...it's ONLY TAXPAYER$$$$$$$

As I said,BLATANT....
