HOPTE - It isn't the offering of rentals that is the issue, it is that they built the rentals on forest preserve land, after clearing Ohia (and presumably selling it) and then collected the rent from jungalows that shouldn't ever have been built in the first place. If anything, DLNR should get the gross (not net) proceeds of all rent collected over those years.
The side issue which was raised, is that they helped these "renters" (hippie wannabees) obtain EBT benefits, then skimmed off of that too. I have no proof of such an allegation, but have heard various rumors over the last couple years, for what that is worth. I am curious what will happen with that.
