Guilty Plea Ties Lorain Case to Calabrese Network
Jimmy Dimora and ex County Auditor Frank Russo were found guilty. Prudoff and a man matching William Wells, son of Prudoff’s longtime girlfriend, took in about 144000 in consulting fees for Alternatives between July 2003 and March 2006. Wells faces no charges. Prudoff must repay 144000 in restitution to Ohio. Prudoff aided Alternatives in locating a Lorain County site for a prisoner housing facility, while lying about site reviews. Calabrese steered Alternatives to hire favored consultants, with Vorys firm paid over 1.6 million for city work. Federal probes remain active into Lorain’s Community Development Department and related consultants.
