The Mayor also appointed Carol Schwartz to the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability.

The D.C. Council chairman says that the Council next week will vote on whether to formally reprimand Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) for his role in a 2008 deal to find a new contractor for the D.C. Lottery.

Although he was chewed out by a stinging report by a D.C. government ethics board, Councilmember Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) says he has no intention of resigning.

The District’s Board of Ethics and Government Accountability ruled that while Councilmember Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) broke the D.C. code of conduct, it lacks the authority to proceed further.

Last week, Mayor Vince Gray told residents that they could apply to be on the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability, the new three-person board charged with enforcing ethics rules across the District’s government. But a statutory deadline to actually nominate the three members passed yesterday, reports the Examiner, with no nominations made by Gray.

Mayor Vince Gray announced today that the soon-to-be-formed D.C. Board of Ethics and Government Accountability is looking for members. The best part? You can apply.
