DEVELOPMENT, anti-development activist alleges corruption [BF]

Suburban Life (Debrah Bonn):

Anger over a condominium development in Brookfield has led to corruption allegations against the Village Board, but officials are calling the charges "ridiculous" and "insulting."

A petition printed in a local newspaper and paid for by Brookfield resident Mike Fressola alleges the board is "running a totalitarian village practicing in arrogance and corruption." Fressola also questions whether trustees and Village President Michael Garvey had a relationship with Bass Builders, the company behind the proposed 18-unit development at 3627-3631 Forest Ave.
