It's kind of weird. A fairly minor count of bank fraud seems almost pedestrian by the standards of the DC council.

Yes, we should hold politicians to a high standard, but I'm surprised that he's resigning over this.

(And, for whatever it's worth, I think it's fine to call him an idiot. It's not civil discourse, but it really is pretty idiotic for a public official to lie about his income on a loan application.)

Oh, and please no control board, for the love of God. Oversight and transparency are fine, but please let us make our own mistakes. I also suspect that DC's under far more scrutiny, and that there are plenty of local officials elsewhere around the country that get away with this stuff all the time.
