Washington, DC:City Councilman resigns instead of facing expulsion vote

Councilman Jack Evans, who faced a push for his recall and a potential expulsion vote, has announced he will resign. Evans has been under investigation over ethic violations after the revelation of 11 cases where he took action on behalf of paying client. Evans claims that he broke no rules.

Petitioners handed in 5588 signatures in the recall effort and needed 4949. Evans claimed that more than 2000 signatures were improper or forged and it seems like the Board knocked much of those off -- the article notes that it fell short by a 1000.
