| Description |
Several top-ranking D.C. political appointees are being paid at a rate that would violate District law, it was revealed Thursday, yet another controversy in the scandal-marred first two months of D.C. Mayor Vince Gray's administration.
Gray is off to a rocky start, with federal prosecutors "assessing" charges of campaign abuses brought by a former mayoral candidate and accumulating concerns over nepotism, hiring of cronies and overspending on salaries for appointees.
The mayor has now turned to superlawyer Robert Bennett to defend him -- the man Bill Clinton hired when charges swirled around his administration.
And city officials are starting to pressure him to jettison top advisers.
D.C. Council members, with David Catania leading the charge, called for Gray's chief of staff, Gerri Mason Hall, to resign Thursday. |
