Looks like the Southtown Star and the Sun-Times would also like some comment from Mr. Wait regarding his “donation” of $50,000 to Candlewick Lake Association. Perhaps the better question is where is our local media in regards to Mr. Wait’s soliciting Candlewick Lake Association (CLA) as a would-be recipient of this grant without CLA even asking for it.
The Candlewick Lake Association, a gated community near Rockford with nearly 7,000 people enjoying a 220-acre lake and a 9-hole golf course, stands to get $50,000.
The community did not ask for the money, said Candlewick general manager Tracy Carter. Instead, Rep. Ron Wait (R-Belvidere) contacted them. "We certainly will find a good use for it," Carter said.
Wait did not return a call seeking comment Friday.
