Companies linked to William F. Cellini — who’s awaiting sentencing on a federal corruption conviction stemming from business deals with the state of Illinois — are still making money off the state’s taxpayers. Cellini is president of New Frontier Management, which — along with an affiliated company called Pacific Management Inc. — has managed 22 buildings that state agencies have been leasing for years, in some cases even for decades, state records show. The state spent more than $23.8 million leasing those buildings last year, including the payments on four buildings that the state is buying under installment contracts. State officials say they don’t know how much of that money is spent on the two management companies connected to Cellini and his family.
