[quote=Anonymous]Interesting.  He filed last month, but  was only revealed now.

[quote]Arlington County Board Chair Christian Dorsey, who was penalized Thursday for failing to disclose a campaign contribution to the Metro board in a timely manner, filed for bankruptcy last month after falling behind on his mortgage and accruing tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt.

Dorsey (D), 48, also serves as Northern Virginia’s representative on the Metro board. In a brief interview late Thursday, he attributed his personal financial troubles to a drop in income since he was elected to the five-member Arlington board four years ago.

He said he chose to seek protection under federal bankruptcy law because he was faced with foreclosure on his family’s home in the Columbia Forest neighborhood in South Arlington.

Dorsey told The Post last month that Arlingtonians should vote for him because he has “the fitness to solve Arlington’s biggest issues — [someone who will] make sure we have a real housing plan, who has the capacity to come up with a storm-water management plan that is fiscally responsible and will work.”

On Thursday, he said he did not consider telling voters of his personal financial travails during the campaign because “the public’s interest is to see that I’m able to do the public’s business.”

Other county board members reached Thursday expressed support for Dorsey and declined to discuss details of the bankruptcy petition.[/quote]
