BEN GELMAN is the former Sunday news editor for The Southern Illinoisan and is an avid bird watcher. HOUSING: Board names chairman FROM PAGE IB Authority attorney Stephen Green and Courtney Cox, Sosnowski's attorney, gave orders that Sosnowski's office was not to be disturbed in his absence. On Nov. 23, a locksmith was hired to change the locks on Sosnowski's door without approval of the board or Green. "Housing should not have to pay for that," Basler said.

"It was an illegal move. We have a locksmith." Commission Melvin Fisher said Franklin had contacted Fisher and said there were checks in Sosnowski's office which had to be sent. Assistant Executive Director Dianne Dodd said she didn't know why Green, who was given keys to the office, was not contacted. A budget was approved for Fiscal Year 2006, but commissioners said they were hesitant to approve the budget, which puts the authority at a $200,000 deficit for the beginning of its fiscal year. Yewell asked Sosnowski to prepare recommendations for the board within 60 days detailing how the body could reduce costs and move toward a balanced budget.
