BOE Chair Campaign Got $500 Milestone Contribution 4 Months Before BOE Vote on Contract

Following up on The Washington Times article that revealed the payments from a Milestone cell tower company to a Prince George's County referendum campaign supported by the County Executive Rushern Baker, we note that back in 2010, a Milestone company made a donation to a Prince George's Board of Education Chair's campaign account just 4 months before the Board of Education vote to approve this "deal". 

Here's the timeline:

July 1, 2010: $500 campaign contribution from a Milestone cell tower company to the Verjeana Mc-Cotter Jacobs campaign.



November 11, 2010:  Watch the PG Board of Education vote to approve the Milestone cell tower contract in just 40 seconds. Watch the PG Board of Education Chair, Verjeana McCotter-Jacobs, cut off discussion and push through this vote.
Remember that the Milestone contract with Prince George's County Board of Education was a no bid, no RFP, no competition contract award.  In fact, the contract wasn't even made public until it was obtained by the Parents' Coalition in 2014.
