Fromm still in game

Nancy Fromm, the owner of Addiction and Family Care Inc., has been awarded a contract by the Lake County Department of Community Corrections to provide drug and alcohol addiction aftercare counseling for inmates in the Kimbrough Work Program.

The Lake County Commissioners approved the one-year deal at a recent meeting, following the advice of the Community Corrections Advisory Board.

Community Corrections Director Robert Hinojosa estimates the contract's worth at about $21,000, but a breakdown of the services slated under the deal shows Fromm's company could net thousands more depending on what programs she provides.

Fromm is a central figure in the U.S. attorney's case against former Schererville town Judge Deborah Riga, who is charged with extorting money from Fromm's company, which was doing business with the court.
