MAKES SENSE TO ME: "A rising tide of D.C. voters and elected officials is calling on Councilman Harry Thomas Jr. to resign after he agreed to pay the city back $300,000 he was accused of stealing."

To leave him in office would just be giving him a chance to re-steal the $300K. But knowing D.C. voters, he'll remain in office unless convicted - and even then, I wouldn't bet against.
