“Dear PoPville,
As a member of VIDA U St, I recently became aware of the installation of cameras in the men’s locker room.

From Council Chair Phil Mendelson:
“The federal charges against Councilmember Trayon White are deeply disturbing. Notwithstanding the principle that a person is innocent until proven guilty, the allegations, together with the government’s affidavit, are a gut punch to the public trust in the Council.
Unfortunately, the judicial process can be slower than the public’s right to accountable government. Accordingly, I will be following the Council’s Rules and establishing an Ad Hoc Committee to assess the situation…
