One more councilmember who should go

Ward 8 D.C. Councilman Marion Barry, who is running to become the Democratic Party nominee in the April 3 primary, tops my list of elected officials who should be shown the door. He’s the original misbehaving politician.

The legislature’s image problem may have begun when the public learned Barry hadn’t filed income tax returns for eight years. Soon after, taxpayers were told he used their money to provide a sole source contract to a paramour. Barry also failed to pay hundreds of dollars in parking fines.
