Alderman Tendam needs to recuse himself from voting on anything to do with Tawani Enterprises, including the Forest Place B and B vote tonight.

Why? Tawani Enterprises applied for zoning relief in February 2013 for a B and B on Forest Place. Then, on April 17th, a $1000.00 donation was cashed by Ald. Tendam from Tawani Enterprises. Tonight, July 8th, the City Council votes on said application of the B and B on Forest.

By having Ald. Tendam recuse himself from voting on any matter related to Tawani Enterprises, any appearance of impropriety is therefore erased and potential conflict gone with it.
