Village Initiated Closer Look Into Former Police Chief's Pension

The board filed a request with the Illinois Department of Insurance inquiring about former police chief Rob Piscia's pension qualifications.

An examination into pension contributions by former police chief Rob Piscia began with the village pension board, according to Village Administrator Jerry Ducay. The Frankfort Police Pension Board turned to the Illinois Department of Insurance to determine whether Piscia should have contributed to pension funds in recent years.

The truth of the matter is that there was someone who authorized this to happen and the…   more ›

The Illinois Department of Insurance, which oversees the state's local police pension boards, agreed with some Frankfort Police officers that Piscia should not have been eligible for those credits, the report continued.

If he stays working in Illinois Municipal Government for at least 8 years, he will be vested in the IMRF Pension and will receive another pension. It will be a reduced amount unless he works for a long period of time. He will be contributing to the fund, and will receive the benefits he deserves. That is unless he and others find a loophole to bilk the pension system for more money. You are …   more ›

Water Restrictions Everywhere, But Why Not in Frankfort?

The village has a certain amount of independence when it comes to water usage thanks to the well system it's on. Find out what effect that is having this summer.

The stifling heat and lack of rain has forced communities like New Lenox, Mokena and Tinley Park institute water restrictions, ranging from staggered schedules to outright watering bans. In Oak Lawn, residents experienced a disruption in water pressure as an emergency backup generator system was installed. At the same time, however, water service in Frankfort has remained the same despite residents using 7.5 million gallons a day, an amount that had the village limiting usage at around this time last year.

"This year, we're using more water, but not having any problems." …

For those people that pick up drinking water in large containers or complain about the water, should consider The Water Depot.

Small price to pay for drinking water when our bill is so much lower than all the surrounding towns.   more ›
