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

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
