Advisory council ties to ATV industry questioned in Illinois
The advisory council overseeing ATV grants has three of five members with ATV industry links, including Vice Chairwoman Sandy Waterman and Ron George, while Chairman Robert Ward has none. Critics say conflicts of interest loom as Waterman and George run ATV retail and service businesses. The panel also faces scrutiny over a private investor's IDNR role after a $300,000 grant to Williams Pass and Williams later joining IDNR.
