What happened
The Hinsdale Village Board was asked to vote on a two-year, no-bid contract worth $138,000 for Burke Engineering, which reviews applications for development permits. This discussion sparked controversy after Burke Engineering donated $1,500 to Village President Greg Hart's political committee on October 8. The firm had also made prior payments to Hart's campaign.

Why it matters
The contract extension, which continues existing work, was debated by officials, with Trustee Scott Banke asking to remove it from the agenda. The donation was part of a recent surge in contributions to Hart's committee, which has received nearly $30,000 this month.
