(Washington Post) — Five months after D.C. Council member Marion Barry was censured and stripped of his committee chairmanship for giving a contract last year to an on-again, off-again girlfriend, the Office of Campaign Finance has admonished the former mayor but cleared him of violating city law.
Cecily E. Collier-Montgomery, director of the campaign finance office, reprimanded Barry (D-Ward 8) in an official order posted Monday after the office found that he did not follow the city’s regulations for employee conduct.
