About this Article

The first of three men charged in a contract-rigging scandal at the DuPage County Forest Preserve District pleaded not guilty Monday, and his attorney said he plans to fight the charges. Arif Mahmood, 37, of Glendale Heights, was indicted earlier this month on 37 felony counts, including conspiracy, theft and accepting kickbacks.
