Marion Barry Broke a Law?

Former DC Mayor and current DC City Council member Marion Barry is in the news again for possibly breaking the law. He personally benefited from a contract he awarded a former girlfriend. An investigation found Barry violated DC law and recommends the findings be referred to the U.S. Attorney for criminal charges. The girlfriend got a contract to develop a program called, "Emerging Leaders of Ward Eight," which is Barry's ward. The investigation also found that significant portions of the program were copied from the Internet without attribution. Also, Barry had loaned the girlfriend money and forced her to repay him from her paycheck from the contract.

Barry doing illegal stuff? I thought he was too busy protesting gay marriage because it is so immoral.  In other breaking news, the sky is blue and the pope is Catholic.

FRUSTRATING! I can't stand the hypocrisy that so many politicians engage in! Hopefully, the people won't be fooled by him any longer.
