Elected officials and municipal workers from Crown Point, Dyer, East Chicago, Highland, LaPorte County, Lowell, Munster, Schererville, Whiting and Gary attended the dinner and training hosted by the Shared Ethics Advisory Commission.
Calvin Bellamy, the commission's president, said the goal of the night was to create an ethical culture in Northwest Indiana. Each table had a variety of employees and elected officials from the participating cities.
Apparently Tom says he don't need no stinkin ethics. Maybe that is why Tom failed to answer the State Board of Accounts question on how almost $1,000,000 of Woodmar Tiff expenditures didn't meet Tif guidelines.
ORSorta like why HUD's Inspector General cited Hammond on irregularities in how Tom and his crew spent Federal Dollars and suspended Hammond from using their funds until concerns were resolved. This delayed a senior citizens project in Hammond.
It's not the only irregularity in Hammond's expenditures. Overtime paid to ineligible supporters of Tom. Councilmen spending $32,000 on dumpsters, which conveniently had his black and yellow signs on them one week before the election cause some stir?
$550,000 disbursed with out ReDevelopment Commission Approval.
& Lots more.
