Prairie State Trustee Wendell Mosby Endorses Robin Kelly

Mosby explained his decision to endorse Kelly in an open letter.

Editor's Note: This letter was written before Sen. Toi Hutchinson dropped out of the election. Being relatively new to the world of politics, this has been one of the most difficult decisions I have had to make thus far. For months, I have been taking copious notes and analyzing the race for the 2nd Congressional District. As a Trustee of Prairie State Community College District #515, I have had the honor to work with members of Congress as I have advocated for supporting community colleges. I take my responsibility as a guardian of the public trust very seriously and I owe a debt of gratitude to my supporters. As a residents of the 2nd Congressional District, I hosted a debate at my alma mater Rich Central High School because I wanted the…

This guy will now feel he is mighty and powerful because he "endorsed" a candidate we all knew would get in. Mosby is a snake, he plays the Race Card. He goes around making promises to females that he can get them hired with his clout at the college. Than goes around and knock up employees at the college. He is a Cheater, a Liar, and refuse to take up his responsibility. Goes around getting on …   more ›

Censured PSC Board Member Loses Over $1,200 in Reimbursements

A Patch investigation reveals that a controversial political maneuver cost Prairie State College Wendell Mosby over $1,200 in travel reimbursements.

Documents released by Prairie State College reveal just how hard Trustee Wendell Mosby was hit when the board stripped him of his travel reimbursement privileges earlier this month. The board made the move after Mosby walked out of the Oct. 30 meeting just before it came time to vote on a nepotism policy he disagreed with. The walk-out removed the quorum—preventing the board from making a decision on the policy. Read: Prairie State Board Censures Trustee After Strategic Walk-Out Patch requested an itemized list of each travel expense reimbursement given to each sitting Prairie State College trustee between Jan. 1, 2011 and Dec. 13, 2012. A "travel expense" is defined as transportation costs of in- or out-of-state trips, along with lodging…

Read: Prairie State Board Censures Trustee After Strategic Walk-Out. PSC and the Chair will benefit from the ignorance of others who only read one article and make statement such as "This man should be removed from office". There's three type of people- A seat warmer/talker- A bobble head dummy, who go with the flow and a doer who get up,get out and make things happen. Now,that's what I see when …   more ›

Prairie State Board Censures Trustee After Strategic Walk-Out

Wendell Mosby has been temporarily stripped of his travel reimbursement privileges after he walked out of a board meeting and took the quorum with him.

Prairie State College Trustee Wendell Mosby will be traveling on his own dime, at least until he gets his boardroom behavior under control. The trustee was censured at the board's Dec. 4 meeting, losing his travel reimbursement privileges indefinitely, according to fellow trustee Marc A. Wiley Sr. The punishment came as a result of Mosby strategically walking out of a meeting. At the Oct. 30 public board meeting, Mosby was one of only four board members to show up out of the seven. When a board policy on nepotism in employment came up for discussion and vote, Mosby voiced his disapproval, according to the minutes. He said the board was enacting the policy to retaliate against the Prairie State staff for opposing the hiring of Chair …

Winston the whole problem is some people are so corrupt they can't even see what's wrong with this. Jobs should not be currency for elected officials. Is the stepfather the best qualified for that $80,000 job? Highly unlikely. esecially if they tweaked the requirements to suit his credentials. Public service should not be used to enrich friends family and political supporters w.ith taxpayer money…   more ›
