As noted in the comments attached to this article about the need for more transparency with the our Forest Preserve District http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20121017/news/710179724/ Commissioner Cantore accepts unlimited campaign donations from contractors/vendors providing goods/services to the Forest Preserve and he doesn't even understand why this is unethical! " Oakbrook Terrace Republican seems unconcerned with the appearances surrounding his acceptance of a $1,000 campaign donation from the commission's law firm, though he votes on the firm's contract. " Read this article from the 2010 endorsement of Cantore's opponent Hilary Denk http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20101023/discuss/710239694/

 

I believe it is unethical to accept any campaign donations from companies that you set prices with and pay with our tax dollars. In addition a rule should be passed by the Forest Preserve Commissioners to eliminate this practice. PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG.
