During a recent government meeting, significant concerns were raised regarding Alderman Yamas and his property ownership status. A speaker highlighted that Yamas is not the listed owner of a property on Lincoln Avenue, emphasizing that he was merely a tenant and could not abandon property he does not own. This assertion was supported by references to existing case law, contrasting Yamas's situation with that of public figures like Rahm Emanuel, who had clear intentions to return to their properties after serving in government roles.

The speaker accused Yamas of exhibiting \"arrogance, greed, and ignorance,\" pointing out that he has collected between $25,000 and $27,000 over the past year in various forms of compensation, including pension contributions and stipends for attending meetings. The speaker urged taxpayers in Aurora to remain vigilant, warning that the issue surrounding Yamas's conduct would persist and that future candidates supporting him would be held accountable in the upcoming 2025 elections.

The meeting continued with the next speaker, Nancy Roberts, taking the floor to address the assembly.
