Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson, who recently pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges, remains on the council despite calls for her resignation. Though she plans to resign, she has not set a date, preferring to wait until after the budget process concludes. Legal interpretation confirms that councilors, including President Louijeune, cannot remove her from office until after her sentencing on July 29, where she faces recommended prison time. Calls for resignation have intensified since her arrest, linked to a kickback scheme involving a staffer relative.
"Fernandes Anderson is scheduled to be sentenced on July 29. Federal prosecutors recommended a sentence of one year and a day, but whether Fernandes Anderson will serve prison time is yet to be determined."
"She plans to resign, but the timing remains unclear. In the meantime, two councilors are urging their colleagues to 'formally address' the matter of Fernandes Anderson's continued service through a non-binding resolution."
