Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans represents the 1% much more than the 99. Ironically – or maybe appropriately – both of D.C.’s ongoing occupations, at Freedom Plaza and McPherson Square, are located in his ward.
Evans embodies precisely what the occupiers oppose: undue corporate influence on government. In addition to his $125,000 council salary, Evans earns $240,000 a year from Patton Boggs, but good luck trying to figure out what the councilmember does for the powerful law/lobby firm.
