Like a lot
of other people, I am not a native Washingtonian. In the almost 20 years, I’ve
seen a lot of unethical behaviors come and go. However, the news story
yesterday about how DC Ward 5 Councilmember Harry Thomas Jr. executed his
kickback scheme two days after he was
elected, was just too much.
Alan Suderman of the City Paper says it best “Harry Thomas Jr. wasn’t particularly subtle in how he went about stealing more than $350,000 in D.C. taxpayer funds.” Arrogance and lack of ethics combined. “He plunked down nearly $70,000 for an SUV and $25,000 for a motorcycle. He even spent $1,374 on three pairs of what federal prosecutors describe as “exotic shoes.”"

I fail to understand why theft and
lack of morality are so much a part of this area. Maybe it’s my calling to
alert people to the obvious – it’s wrong to steal. It’s worse to steal from
children. All I pray for is God to work this evil to an even greater good.
