You've got your facts twisted. Laidlaw started out as Laidlaw Capital management in 1999. They were originally Multiair Comfort Corporation. I don't think Bartoszek become involved until 1999 or 2000. LCM merged with Poly Eko Systems Inc. (a polish plumbing supplier) in 2002 and the company became Laidlaw Energy Group. Somewhere in there the company, supposedly, bought and lost Ellicottville. During this time Bartoszek was reportedly paying himself $120,000 per month while a big time LLEG poster, Veritas-twj, swore on a stack of bibles that Bartoszek was donating his time (yah I know LOL). I have read where another company Laidlaw Energy and Environmental, Inc. was the actual owner of Ellicotville. Bartoszek has formed so many companies and LLCs its hard to keep track of them without a program.
