D.C. Council voting on whether to release investigative report

A special D.C. Council committee will vote Monday morning on making public the details of an independent investigation into an $80 million city contract that was handed out to a friend of then-Mayor Adrian Fenty.

Attorney Robert Trout has spent nearly a year interviewing officials with Banneker Ventures, which received an $80 million parks and recreation contract during Fenty’s term that was passed through the city’s independent housing department, escaping council oversight. Banneker was run by one of Fenty’s fraternity brothers.
