LinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: Don’t fill Jack Evans’ vacant Metro board seat with another council member By Editor On Aug 19, 2019 Last updated Aug 19, 2019 39 Share NO SOONER had D.C. Council member Jack Evans (D-Ward 2) resigned from the Metro board than some of his colleagues started lobbying to succeed him. But the fact that an elected member of the council has traditionally served on the board doesn’t mean that’s the way it must be. Indeed, we hope that Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) doesn’t limit his search for a replacement to council members, but instead carefully considers what kind of qualifications and experience will best serve the interests of the transit agency and those who depend upon it. 39 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
