WASHINGTON — D.C. Councilmember Marion Barry has reported receiving thousands of dollars in gifts from two construction firms that do business with the city, and the owner of one of the firms said Thursday he gave Barry the money to pay his bills because the former mayor was in a “tight crunch.”
On his recent financial disclosure forms, Barry reported receiving a $4,000 gift from F&L Construction and a $2,800 gift from Forney Enterprises Inc. The disclosure of the gifts was first reported by The Washington Post on its website.

Then put the druggy in jail.
nothing will be done!
Nothing new here and no one cares because if they did he would be in jail,just dont let a conservative do it.
Crackhead Barry. Nothing new here, it's only frowned upon that it gets out to the public.
This is obviously acceptable behavior in the black community and political sphere. They elected him knowing what he is and what he does.
Barry is not alone. They have no concept of decency, benevolence or humanity. The majority are hardwired to more primitive aspects of the human psychological condition.
The primal reactionary mob effect. Dependency. Community organizing.
DC should be flushed away for the public display of stupidity it consistently shows. Not surprised at the gifts and I wonder how the racist comments will start to get turned around on this.
