Councilmember Catania's Statement on Attorney General's Settlement with Councilmember Thomas

District Residents Deserve Answers, Not Settlement

“The Attorney General’s June 2011 complaint alleges many serious violations of the public trust by Councilmember Harry Thomas Jr. Following the filing of the lawsuit by the Attorney General, I
informed Councilmember Thomas that I would withhold judgment on the matter until he had an opportunity to respond to these allegations. By virtue of Friday's settlement, Councilmember Thomas has declined to offer a full accounting of his actions. The residents of the District of Columbia deserve better. With such serious allegations unanswered and an on-going investigation by the US Attorney, I believe that Councilmember Thomas should resign from the Council of the District of Columbia."
