Full text and takeaways from indictment of Tania Fernandes Anderson
City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson is accused of taking a kickback from an underling in a bathroom inside City Hall. That’s just one of the allegations contained in a scathing federal indictment (posted below). Here are other takeaways:
The councilor forced all employees to sign an NDA, a non-disclosure agreement.
The feds point out that every city councilor is “allotted a budget of several hundred thousand dollars to pay salaries and bonuses for staff.”
The NDA Fernandes Anderson “required all her staff members to sign” “barred” them “from disclosing any ‘confidential information’ to anyone, unless they received” her “permission.” It’s clear in this federal case, a staffer took this NDA to a higher authority.
Fellow Councilor Erin Murphy said in a statement this morning that the allegations against her colleague on the council are “deeply disturbing” and alleged “actions like these erode public trust.”
