Were this city actually serious about corruption, a full audit conducted by an outside party and made public would be performed, esp. after the OTR scandal, on all DC government and council offices. Truth be told, this sort of corruption-via-contracts is totally normal and a standard part of DC politics.

Nothing is original when it comes to corruption in city hall...therefore if Marion Barry has done it...then those other have thought about it or are doing it now without any conscienous. You mean to tell me that Marion Barry is the only "Pimp Daddy" on the council I think not... I betcha there's enough "Rico Suave" type attitudes going around...I can guarantee you there's situations of "I caught you looking" Body language tells all a wandering eye, smile and a tug at the zipper is all that it takes to make the "motion" go to the committee.

Next step for the city paper is to go to Ward 8 see if you can find any citizens who actually tried to receive services from these non-profits.

Just petty theft and prostitution. No doubt that there is a string of women that performed sexual favors for Marion Barry in exchange for the money.

A cover-up in DC, now that's rare.

Hope this gets prosecuted and not covered up. This is a huge waste of public dollars and it's obvious nobody was doing anything to earn this money...it didn't seem like they even tried to cover it up when confronted. The hubris.
