Inspired by a re-reading of this article I saw at CounterPunch back in March. After all this time kind of looking the other way while he raked in the bank on cushy side gigs and other shenanigans, the Washington Post finally could stand no more and actually investigated Ward 2 councilmember Jack Evans.
