Lawsuit Accuses Dallas City Council Member of Some Pretty Bad Corruption
Anybody can claim anything in any lawsuit, but the suit filed last week ( see below) accusing Dallas City Council Member Dwaine Caraway of corruption is not just any lawsuit.
If Caraway cant quickly pony up some persuasive public responses to these charges, he can forget about running for mayor in 2019 an announcement he probably planned on making next week. In fact, if he doesnt meet this accusation head-on in a public forum if he just waits for the suit to settle out he shouldnt even be able to remain on the city council.
These are credible charges to which he has already partially confessed in public statements. Its hard to see how the rest of the council and the mayor can just let this lie.
The accusations in the suit against Caraway and other defendants are based on findings of an FBI investigation and on two federal plea bargain agreements by major players in an egregious years-long bribery conspiracy at the Dallas County School District. Thats the district the voters extinguished last year in a referendum.
