Soback Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Marion Barry Charged in Income Tax Case "Barry was videotaped in a hotel room smoking crack cocaine in an FBI sting during his third term as mayor. In 1991, he served a six-month prison sentence and he went on to regain the mayor's office in 1994. He declined to seek reelection in 1998, but last year he was elected to the District of Columbia Council representing Ward 8, one of the city's poorest neighborhoods. Barry earns $92,605 a year in his Council post. He has served a total of 21 years in city government, including two previous council terms. Completion of his current term in 2008 will qualify him for pension benefits and a lifetime income. City officials have said the law allows Barry to keep his council seat unless he gets felony prison time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
