| Subject: About Time: DC Council Votes Unanimously To Reprimand Its Longest-Serving Councilman Thu Mar 21, 2019 2:39 am | |
| The D.C. City Council voted unanimously yesterday to reprimand Democratic Councilmember for Ward 2, Jack Evans.
The reprimand strips Evans of some of his responsibilities on the Committee of Finance and Revenue but keeps him in place as its chairman. The longest-serving D.C. councilman has been involved in a number of ethics scandals this year regarding the abuse of his public office, including at least one that prompted an ongoing federal criminal investigation.

In an additional legislative meeting called for the sole purpose of issuing the reprimand, Chairman Phil Mendelson acknowledged the growing complaints about inaction regarding Evans’ violations of the Council’s Code of Conduct.
