A famous dump truck involved in the allegations of public corruption has been listed on Facebook marketplace for $10,500. The disgraced former Pleasant Prairie public works director, John Steinbrink, JR was accused and charged with many felonies, one being involved with the dump truck.
Steinbrink, Jr allegedly purchased the Village Dump Truck, a 2000 Ford Sterling L8500, for $14,500. He then ordered Village staff to repair it, spending thousands on new tires and brakes. The repairs were logged in the Department of Public Works electronic records system.
The dump truck went to auction and was sold. The high bidder never paid. It went back to auction and sold to Steinbrink.
We messaged the Illinois man who was selling the dump truck on Facebook Marketplace. He told us he purchased the truck at an auction in Beloit, WI.

Steinbrink fired his attorney Richard Smith in March and hired Racine-based attorneys Patrick Cafferty and Carl Johnson.
Steinbrink, Jr is scheduled to go to trial on November 27, 2023, but the Racine County DA’s office has asked for the trial to be postponed. Judge Milisauskas will decide later this month if he will delay the trial or not.

The corruption continues….
John steinbrick Sr.

Gene wervey.
The continuance.
Where’s the prosecution of this guy stealing from the public.
Where. The justice system needs to do justice for the people
Corrupt SCUM at all levels of .gov.
I hope this clown and his clown daddy do hard time.
If Steinbrink JR does end up in prison where he belongs, he should try his hand at art. I’m sure he could get loads of advice on how to market his handiwork if he contacts Hunter Biden.
How much longer can his trial be dragged out? He must know that he is going away, let us hope anyway!!
WEaring dark glasses in court makes a mockery of the judicial system. The same rules should apply to everybody. Does he have a doctor’s note?
The “high bid” that did not pay at the auction house may have been working on Junior’s behalf. Put the high bid in, then don’t pay, then Junior can buy it cheap.
He looks like a douche bag that thinks he’s better than everyone else. *Ick*
Even if he is convicted, the gov will not touch his tax payer pension. Give me one case
The Steinbrink family has used the pleasant prairie Resorces as their own for many years finally you are all seeing this, they have benefited off. the taxpayers for years,
With the father involved and get the kids jobs there, they have been using pp as their own nest egg for very long time since the early 80s.
Dear Steinbrink family : YOU ARE NOT THE YELLOW STONE RANCH !!!
What is the problem here? Any one of us good American citizens would have had been forced to have a trial by now. Let the jury decide and let’s move on. Up or down he needs to be treated just like us.
Corruption corruption corruption
Pleasant Prairie stands for corruption.
What is sad the bureaucrats go right along with them
Can I use Menards rebates to pay for it? Asking for a friend.
Everything about Kenosha is Corruption police, court, public Works the list can go on
Find out who the higher bidder was? Perhaps Racine DA could get off their ass and make a phone call.
Steinbrink family is developing a 275-acre housing development east of 31 and 165. That’s about 700 houses, some in the $400,000 to $650,000 range. That should help pay Jr.’s attorneys fees.
He’s so obviously guilty! The only thing that is more obvious than Steinbrinks being guilty, is the total corruption in the liberal democratic party from top to bottom. That starts with the entire Biden regime! Anyone who voted for that scumbag that doesn’t feel like a piece of 💩 by now is 100% brain dead or brain washed! Have a nice day, Mr. Common Sense
