Amid Gray's ethics board delays, Bowser seeks council power

Ward 4 Councilwoman Muriel Bowser isn’t happy that, more than seven weeks after a legal deadline, Mayor Vincent Gray hasn’t named his picks for the District’s new ethics board.

Under the original law establishing the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability, which will write ethics rules for city employees and investigate allegations of misconduct, the mayor was to appoint all three of the panel’s members by March 14. By Monday, though, Gray had not make his selections.
