[edit] Councilwoman spends $40,400 for 'best in the business' video

"A video production company owned by Otho Lyles III benefited in 2006 and 2007 from a Gary City Council promotional account that is meant to assist Gary's not-for-profit agencies.

Lyles pleaded guilty in 2004 to lying to federal investigators as they tried to root out corruption at Gary City Hall, and he served probation. He later pleaded guilty to a charge of tax evasion and as of February, records show, he owed more than $260,000 in federal taxes.

Carolyn Rogers, the 4th District's representative on the City Council, directed a total of $40,400 in City Council money toward Lyles' NPC LLC in 2006 and 2007, records show."
