KLEPT, FBI approached about Serpico and D209 [D209]
I heard a rumor that [name redacted] has been in contact with the FBI about Melrose Park Mayor Ron Serpico using inappropriate influence on D209 Board Member Gary Marine.
At the April meeting of the District 209 board of education, Marine had requested a motion be put on the agenda to terminate the services of Odelson & Sterk and replace the firm with Giglio & Del Galdo.
Marine is a Village of Melrose Park employee which gives Serpico many ways to give him carrot or stick.
If Serpico used inappropriate influence the case would seem to resemble the firing of Generso "Gino" Trombetta.
Trombetta sued District 209 and Serpico and prevailed by demonstrating Serpico used his influence over Board Member Dan Adams to get Trombetta fired. Devine's office failed to take criminal action citing a statute of limitations problem. Trombetta's supporters claim the statute of limitations hadn't passed and that State's Attorny Dick Devine merely did Serpico a favor.
The Melrose Park Police Department is currently under investigation for questionable practices related to hiring Chief of Police Vito Scavo's private security firm to work on the village water main replacement project.
If Scavo is indicted it is assumed that the feds will pressure him to testify against people above him in the food chain.

more signs than votes needs to let the welch anger go. gary marine works for the village of melrose park. his wife works for the village of melrose park. together, they bring in $80,000 a year. marine's brother-in-law pete urso is his boss in the public works department. his sister-in-law, jackie mcmillan, also works for melrose park. and you think "there might be a little connection." get a clue more signs than votes. gary marine is a bought and paid for puppet. look at his voting record in 209. he votes with flowers and kelly on everything except when it has something to do with melrose park. he never votes against melrose park because he is afraid he is will lose his job. the fbi should take a look at that as well.

Wow. Gary Marine should be ashamed of himself. Now I see why he put the attorneys for the Village of Melrose Park on the agenda. He had to do it or he would be out of a job. Gary...words of advice...when the feds come to your house, tell the truth.

more signs than votes let it go. Your detective work is awful. You want to suggest that going to the state campaign disclosure website and viewing a list of donations that were properly recorded for the world to see is evidence that welch would do something as stupid as getting rid of a qualifed school law firm for a firm of political hacks who will likely be indicted for their work in Melrose Park and Cicero. Come on. Let the anger over welch go at least on this issue. Gary Marine and Melrose Park are crooked, corrupt people. They are trying to take over 209 at all costs and by any means necessary. Well, I think Gary Marine, Serpico and Scavo are all going to jail real soon.
