"Dear Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Cook County State's Attorney Kimberly M. Foxx:
On behalf (sic) Harvey, Illinois residents, my office requests you investigate and then prosecute city of Harvey, Illinois officials for criminal and/or civil violations of Illinois law,specifically but not limited to official misconduct (720 ILCS 5/33-3), misapplication of funds(720 ILCS 5133E-16), theft of government property (720 ILCS 5/16-l) and other breaches of the public trust.
The city of Harvey is in a dire financial crisis. This crisis stems, in part, from Mayor Eric J. Kellogg and his administration's misuse of water funds and other funds in violation of state law. Because of this and other misuses:
l. Harvey is not able to properly handle its financial obligations to residents, city employees and vendors;
2. Harvey residents have seen a disruption in trash disposal, resulting in an escalating rodent population;
3. Harvey's failure to pay dumping fees has left open dumping with environmental hazards for over ayeat to two years;
4. Harvey's failure to pay ComEd has resulted in a disruption of street lighting.Abandoned homes are not demolished, secured and left open in dilapidated condition.
5. Sinkholes are rife throughout the city;
6. Employees no longer have dental insurance, which employees paid in part;
7 . Employee medical insurance is at the brink of cancellation;
8. Harvey has not fulfilled its payroll obligations or has failed to fully pay its employees; and
9. Harvey's Auto, General Liability and Umbrella Insurance Coverage insurance was cancelled due to non-payment of premiums. Harvey has yet to establish insurance coverage leaving Harvey assets vulnerable.
The list continues. All of this creates a hardship and health and safety issue to Harvey residents and employees. "
