Common Sense: Harris should resign
Pam Harris was at one time a correction officer and is currently a state legislator. She was responsible for enforcing the laws and making laws. That makes the charges that she violated the law even more disturbing. The only scenario that would have been worse would be if she had also been an attorney responsible for advocating for the law.
What I find even more troubling is what she is accused of doing: Diverting FEMA funds that were being directed to Sandy relief away from her devastated Coney Island community and into her own pocket.
Incredibly, her legal problems were raised as an issue in her special election campaign and the following general election. There was another, totally qualified Democrat attempting to earn the county committee endorsement for the special who later entered a Democratic primary.
