State Rep. John Ostenburg says he did not lie about a 600000 dollar sewer and water proposal for Sauk Village. He claims he proposed the funding in March, withdrew it after the GOP Senate takeover, and redirected funds to other local projects including 112000 for Will County development 500000 for drainage near Crete and 250000 for signalization at Crete Monee Road and Route 1. Senate rival Aldo De Angelis criticized him for taking credit in a newsletter.
