Chester trash project mismanagement under city leadership
A Daily Times investigation finds Mayor Willie Mae Leake and aides controlled the Chester Resource Recovery Project’s acquisition and demolition with no bids, buying properties the city already owned, overpaying for appraisals, and enabling windfalls for speculators. The project faces dwindling funds and unresolved commitments for trash feed and electricity buyers, with more than 40 rundown properties affected and tax-delinquent parcels sold to insiders.
