Ward 2 Council member Jack Evans
This bomb dropped around 7pm last night from the Washington Post:
“A consulting firm owned by D.C. Council member Jack Evans received 200,000 shares of stock in a digital sign company just before Evans promoted legislation that would have benefited the company by allowing it to operate in the District, emails and other documents show.”
It is worth reading the entire jaw dropping report.
Initial reactions:
This is not good for Jack Evans. https://t.co/fo8yfJnTpT pic.twitter.com/FFaaqhWkJg

The Jack Evans story is completely wild. This detail is insane and doesn’t even mention that Evans is chairman of WMATA. https://t.co/KWjM2kQq7M pic.twitter.com/rZoaFogF4v

Stepping back for a moment: For 20 years Jack Evans has been the gateway to every big business wanting to deal with DC gov, from Ted Lerner to Donald Trump to Leonsis to Marriott plus almost every local developer. All of that may be viewed differently now. https://t.co/BLQXHTeWHy

People keep saying Evans should resign. He's never going to resign. The man is as corrupt a politician as there ever been.
The real question is when will @AGKarlRacine step up and do his job as AG and send Jack Evans to prison where he belongs? https://t.co/7oYbBk4ysA

Evans says his son didn’t take the internship, that he returned the checks for consulting fees and returned the stocks. https://t.co/XtChs1VpuM

Jack Evans stories like this one, from @mikedebonis back in the day, probably worth reconsidering now. https://t.co/y5gpN6y56O
