Asbestos scandal: Rolling Meadows alderman thinks constituents don’t need to know!

Marty Watters, Investigative reporter

Picture this: Rollling Meadows 5th Ward Alderman Jon Bisesi spent his morning today screaming at the top of his lungs at me that the people he represents don't need to know that United Airlines willfully exposed them to a dangerous cancer-causing toxin.

And why was Bisesi screaming at me? 

Because I kept insisting that his constituents be informed of what Bisesi has already acknowledged did in fact happen: that United Airlines illegally dumped asbestos in his ward next to a children's playground.

Bisesi insisted that now is not the time to tell the residents.

So, Alderman, when is the time?

Why would Jon Bisesi freak out over the prospect of the resident of Rolling Meadows learning these facts?

And why would he scream at the top of his lungs at the reporter who provided him the documented proof and witnesses?

What is Bisesi trying to hide?

What or who is he afraid of?

Could it have anything to do with Bisesi's claim that City Manager Barry Krumstok recently warned him to "let it go"?

These are questions he will have to answer.

So, Alderman Bisesi, pull yourself together, put your big-boy pants on and tell the residents of your ward what United Airlines did to them!

The longer you wait to do so, the harder it will be for you to explain why you waited so long.
