We ended our last article on the Tri-State Fire Protection District with this statement: "Stay tuned for some pretty amazing exposure yet to come!" (Click here for previous article)

I think "amazing" is an understatement. Mr. Orrico has once again proven that old saying — if it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, it's probably a rat. This time, he's not only acting suspiciously but is also breaking the law. He is no longer legally qualified to be a trustee of the Tri-State Fire Protection District.

To serve as a fire district trustee, you must be an "inhabitant" of the district. According to Black's Law Dictionary, an inhabitant is someone who "resides actually and permanently in a given place, and has his domicile there."

So why isn’t Mr. Orrico eligible to be a trustee? Because he lives in Joliet, Illinois. On April 21, 2015, he purchased a house in Joliet, and his name is clearly listed on the deed. (Click here for copy of the Deed)

Property tax records confirm that his primary residence is at the Joliet address. He received a $6,000 homeowners exemption on his tax bill — a benefit only available if the property is your primary residence. (Click here for copy of property tax records with exemption highlighted)

The property he owns within the fire district — where he previously told DuPage County voter registration officials he lived — may raise additional questions depending on timing. The mailbox at that address doesn’t even have his name. While the DuPage County recorder still shows he owns the property, he did not claim a homeowners exemption there.

Fire district trustees aren't exactly high-profile roles. So why would Mr. Orrico want this job? A contract for three ambulances from his company seems like a good start. Could his close relationship with the chief have played a role in helping both of them? Regardless, one thing is clear: Mr. Orrico is no longer a valid trustee as of April 21, 2015, and any actions he took after that date should be scrutinized for legal implications.

The Fire Protection District Act is very clear. (70 ILCS 705/5) It states that whenever a member of the elected board of trustees ceases to be an inhabitant of the district, their office becomes immediately vacant.

This is not just a legal issue — it’s also covered under the Election Code. (10 ILCS 5/25-2) It says that an elective office becomes vacant if the incumbent ceases to be an inhabitant of the district. That’s exactly what happened here.

So, it's clear: Mr. Orrico is no longer a valid trustee. A vacancy exists. If he claims otherwise, he'll have to explain to Will County authorities why he fraudulently claimed a homeowners exemption.

We strongly recommend that his access to the facility be revoked immediately and his keys taken back to protect the public from any potential misconduct.

And once again, stay tuned for more amazing exposure that could lead to the removal of another official.

Thanks, Scott

Metalized Pet Film

Metalized PET Film, an eco-friendly alternative, is a versatile material that combines the benefits of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) with a metallic sheen. This film features excellent scratch resistance, which ensures its durability even in high-traffic areas or environments prone to wear and tear. Its moisture and odor-resistant properties make it suitable for use in humid conditions, maintaining its appearance and functionality.

The process of laminating metalized PET film onto various base boards like plywood, MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard), WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite), or ACP (Aluminum Composite Panel) is made simple with the use of a PUR (Polyurethane Resin) lamination machine. This heat-activated adhesive bonds the film seamlessly to the board, providing a strong and long-lasting bond.

The PET metalized WPC board is available in customizable thicknesses, typically 8mm. The standard size of PET BOARD is 1220mm x 2440mm, corresponding to the industry-standard 4x8' sheet format.

The finished metalized PET laminate board is widely used in interior design and construction, particularly for wall and ceiling decorations. It can be easily cut, shaped, and installed to create elegant, modern, and durable finishes. Additionally, since it's an eco-friendly option, it contributes to sustainable practices while offering the aesthetic appeal of metal surfaces. For plywood boards specifically, this material can enhance their durability and provide an attractive, high-end look.
