The son of a Mayor Vince Gray appointee who landed a position in the administration says he was pushed to resign by D.C. Fire Chief Ken Ellerbe on the promise he would get a job in the private sector.

During a D.C. Council hearing Thursday on salaries and hiring decisions by the Gray administration, Brandon Webb said Ellerbe and D.C fire department communications director Lon Walls pushed him to resign before a story was published in the media raising questions about how he got his job. Webb’s mother, Rochelle, was appointed by Gray to head the department of employment services. She was fired last week.
