Porter Commissioner, Nancy Adams, and her husband were flown to a Republican dinner by DLZ. Earlier in the month she voted to award DLZ two county contracts worth $285,000.
The May 16th NWI Times article, detailing Adams actions, points out that "the county personnel policy manual prohibits elected officials from accepting and donors from offering any gift, favor, service or entertainment under circumstances in which it can be reasonably inferred the gift would influence special consideration by the official."
On her campaign web site Adams claimed that she would we be "guided by ... Accountability to the Citizens of Porter County and our partners at all levels of government to conduct our business responsibly, ... and to report how we are spending the tax dollars that the Citizens entrust to our stewardship."
Porter County needs to hold Commissioner Adams accountable.
UPDATE: Days after the Times revealed Adams violation of county policy, Adams has apologized via Facebook and has vowed she "did not think this through thoroughly" and in the Times claims she was unaware the county personnel policy manualprohibits elected officials from accepting and donors from offeringany gift, favor, service or entertainment under circumstances. Being "unaware" is no excuse when the law has been broken. Anyways, what politician is not aware that kick backs are illegal?
