At least the automated station announcements were an improvement over the unintelligible, slurred “speech” of many of the train operators!


Typos corrected in above.

So far, the city council's hearings and votes on the Evans allegations have been conducted in a special ad hoc committee made up of all the councilmembers minus Evans. Later this month, the proceedings will move to the full council, which will include the embattled official.

Evans will get the chance to refute the allegations against him at a January hearing; the event is tentatively set for January 7, according to Chair of the Council Phil Mendelson's spokeswoman Lindsay Walton. A final vote to officially expel Evans from the council is expected later in January. The expulsion would take place immediately.



Jack will try to enjoy the holidays as best he can, while his lawyers try to cut a plea deal with federal prosecutors ahead of a probable indictment. Then he will resign in January.


And meanwhile Maret parents will enjoy the fruits of his corruption in the form of the Jelleff deal, which I understand was so many years ago that it wasn’t part of the federal investigation into Maret’s corruption.

After ignoring his corruption for years, the Washington Post finally gets on the ball with an editorial asking for his resignation.

Do DC council members have to pass through the metal detectors at the Wilson Building ?

Because Evans fits the exact profile of a workplace shooter.

And if he’s removed from office in time for Christmas, then he is really S.O.L.

I thought this might happen when he refused to answer any more questions about his dealings. Anyone have a guess about whether he’ll end up in prison or have a second career as a lobbyist for Colonial Parking, Maret etc.

Look at the way Virginia facilitates development at the local and state levels, then sticks taxpayers with infrastructure costs. Someone needs to do an investigative report and expose the rats.

The classic fox in the chicken coop syndrome.


Someone, who?

Final vote is right before Christmas, and this preliminary vote was 12-0

Are you really going to try and convince anyone here that this doesn't mean Jack is out?!?!
