Under indictment in red-light camera scandal, Crestwood mayor to step down, take new job with village – Daily Southtown

Lou Presta said unspecified health conditions preclude him from serving as mayor, but not from taking a full-time job as economic development director at a salary of $65,000 a year - the same salary Presta now makes as mayor. He was charged in U.S. District Court last year with accepting cash bribes from a representative of a red-light camera company that does business in his town.
