      <![CDATA[For Immediate Release 						  		    Roberto Garcia &acirc;&#128;&#147; 312.402.7459 (Cell)
    January 30, 2008				     			or Ana Maria Montes de Oca-Rojas &acirc;&#128;&#147; 708.712.0202 
    
    State Board Of Elections Begins Investigation Into Larry Dominick
    &acirc;&#136;&#146; Political Fund Purchased Business Property Owned By Larry Dominick, Inc. &acirc;&#136;&#146;
    CHICAGO &acirc;&#128;&#147; The Illinois State Board of Elections (ISBE) has begun a review of the financial dealings of Larry Dominick&acirc;&#128;&#153;s political action committee fund after a complaint was filed detailing the improper use of funds for a private business venture and the existence of a separate undisclosed political account.
    &acirc;&#128;&#156;According to corporate documents released from the Illinois Secretary of State&acirc;&#128;&#153;s office, Cicero Town President Larry Dominick and Cicero Town Attorney Michael Delgaldo started a private For Profit corporation for Larry Dominick on March 7, 2006.  On March 8, 2006, Larry Dominick&acirc;&#128;&#153;s political fund reported a $120,350.84 transfer of funds to David Cwik for the purchase of a business property on 35th Street to be owned by Larry Dominick&acirc;&#128;&#153;s personal business corporation,&acirc;&#128;&#157; said Roberto Garcia.  &acirc;&#128;&#156;Apparently they tried to use similar names for Larry&acirc;&#128;&#153;s political fund and Larry&acirc;&#128;&#153;s private corporation to avoid suspicion, but it is clear that political funds were used to fund a private personal business venture, which is expressly prohibited by Illinois state law.&acirc;&#128;&#157;
    The $120,350.84 transfer of funds to Larry Dominick&acirc;&#128;&#153;s personal corporation is income which should be taxed at the rate of 39%, or $46,936 for the 2006 tax year.  It is unknown whether Larry Dominick or his corporation paid those Federal income taxes to the United States Internal Revenue Service or if the corresponding corporate taxes were paid to the State of Illinois.  Dominick also paid his property taxes on the building through the political fund in 2008 in the amount of $7,408.66, which is also taxable income.
    
    &acirc;&#128;&#156;Separately, Larry Dominick&acirc;&#128;&#153;s attorney Richard Means disclosed in a document submitted to the Cicero Electoral Board that Larry Dominick had a &acirc;&#128;&#156;separate ballot access account&acirc;&#128;&#157; which is not disclosed to the State Board of Elections as required by law,&acirc;&#128;&#157; said Garcia.  &acirc;&#128;&#156;If what Dominick&acirc;&#128;&#153;s lawyer said is true, they have a slush fund which they don&acirc;&#128;&#153;t report to the government, which is a violation of the Illinois Election Code.  Slush funds were outlawed over 35 years ago but the news apparently hasn&acirc;&#128;&#153;t reached Cicero Town Hall yet.&acirc;&#128;&#157;
    
    The Illinois State Board Of Elections will schedule a closed preliminary hearing to establish the nature of the offenses before the February 24, 2008 primary, after which all hearings on the matter will be open to the public.   The State Board of Election will determine whether the transactions should be referred to Illinois Attorney General for prosecution.  The matter has also been referred to the United States Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois Patrick Fitzgerald.

      <![CDATA[Pat Quinn is the best elected official in Chicago.  Period.
    He is honest, fiscally frugal, for term limits, for open government, is personally honest, and pro-soldier/pro-veteran.

      <![CDATA[Hey Mick!!! I expect better from you than the standard corrupt Chicago press ritual . Tony Rezko also kicked in money to Mr clean Pat Quinn campaign coffers. Any way, all of you detractors of the corrupt Chicago media,will soon get relief. Chicago has become a fish bowl. Chicago news will no longer be slanted to benefits the local cock roaches in power. The International media will be stationed here in the windy city. Therefore, all of you self styled Machine opponents,help the National and International media  find there way around the city. In other word offer assistance to the outside media . Help shine the light on this attack upon Democracy,by these corrupt bastards. This still America. Daley didn't suspend the constitution,we just allowed him to get away with it.
