Washington, DC: Council member recall delayed after group fails to file campaign finance paperwork

The push to recall Council Member Jack Evans (D) over a probe into financial dealings has been delayed to a failure by the recall group to submit campaign finance paperwork. This could be the end the effort, as DC has a year end of term grace period, and Evans' term ends in 2020.

Adam Eidinger, who has previously worked with Evans on marijuana decriminalization, said he will file this week. He need approximately 5200 signatures (10% of registereds in 180 days).  Evans has been in office for 28 years.
