Florida Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has announced she will resign as chair of the Democratic National Committee. The resignation is to become effective after the party's convention. The organisation's e-mail system was hacked; leaked e-mails appear to confirm accusations that Wasserman-Schultz had taken action favouring Hillary Clinton in her contest against Bernie Sanders to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Sanders had previously called for Wasserman-Schultz to resign, a request he reiterated in light of the leak.

Wasserman-Schultz said in a statement:

I know that electing Hillary Clinton as our next president is critical for America's future. I look forward to serving as a surrogate for her campaign in Florida and across the country to ensure her victory.

    '. . . saying City Hall was a "cesspool of corruption and inefficiency".'

    Is this not something that can be said about most or all local, county, state, or federal governmental entities of the country of your choice? Something form years past: "There is nothing more corrupt than the corruption in local government." - and it all stems from there. . .

    Well there are some cities [twincities.com] that [twincities.com] are worse [stillwatergazette.com] than others [minnpost.com]. When I searched for Lake Elmo City Council news those were just the first 4 stories that came up as they have had a lot of additional problems recently. At one point they couldn't even make it through the Pledge of Allegiance without getting into an argument.
