She was arrested by the FBI as part of a kickback scheme. She faces multiple federal charges.

If she wasn't a Democrat, those charges would be enough to oust her from office. But Democrat she is, so she's sticking around;

There has to be a mechanism by which the city council can use to remove her.

If they believe in law and accountability.

She's only been arrested and charged. But the Left would demand a Republican resign or removed from office if he or she were facing the same legal troubles.

And it's that hypocrisy that's the problem.
