CHICAGO HEIGHTS (CBS) — Fellow commissioners say money was mishandled under Frank Perez's watch, and as CBS 2’s Jermont Terry reported, there plenty of was anger and frustration Monday night as word came that he had walked away from the job with a $212,000 buyout.
Parks commissioners Jessica Mangiaracina and Curtis Straczek were the only two on the board to vote against paying Perez to leave his job. “This is just absolutely ridiculous to pay over $200,000 to walk away from a job,” Straczek said.
