Boston Councilor Faces Resignation Calls Amid Corruption Arrest

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has called for the resignation of City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson following her arrest on federal corruption charges. Fernandes Anderson is accused of receiving kickbacks from a family member she hired for her council staff, with allegations of a $7,000 cash exchange in a City Hall bathroom. Wu emphasized that while Fernandes Anderson is entitled to a fair legal process, the charges compromise public trust and hinder her ability to serve effectively.
