[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]sounds like Jack Evans is running for Council Chair.[/quote]

What a sh*thead.[/quote]

What's your problem? Jack Evans is a quintessential mainstream Democratic politician in DC.[/quote]

Surely you can’t be serious . . .

From his Wiki page:

“While serving as Chairman of WMATA, he simultaneously was hired by 10 firms that had business with WMATA, receiving a total undisclosed payment of $325,000 annually. In May 2019, Evans said he would not serve another term as Chairman of WMATA. Evans initially claimed that he decided not to seek reelection as chairman voluntarily. Following the disclosure of a 20-page memo that identified 16 different ways in which Evans violated either the board's ethics code or the Metro Compact, the founding charter of WMATA, Evans said he had a poor recollection of the events and was focused on how he could update his disclosures. Maryland governor Larry Hogan said that he was too ethically compromised and repeatedly called for him to step down from the board entirely. In a June 2019 letter, Evans said that he would no longer serve on Metro's board following the completion of his term as chairman. It was also revealed that Evans attempted to pressure Metro General Counsel Patricia Lee and board corporate secretary Jennifer Green Ellison in order to conceal the ethics violation.”

Indeed, a quintessential mainstream Democratic politician in DC . . .[/quote]
