Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson will resign on July 4 after pleading guilty to fraud and theft charges arising from a kickback scheme. She was indicted on public corruption charges and accused of misappropriating federal funds through secretly hiring a family member, resulting in an excessive bonus amount. In her resignation announcement, she expressed her gratitude and dedication to her constituents, reflecting on her time in office and the community she served.
"It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve you, my neighbors, my community, my people. Every policy I wrote, every budget line I fought for, every block I walked was rooted in love and loyalty to you, District 7."
"Facing financial hardships in part because of a fine for a previous ethics violation, Fernandes Anderson concocted a kickback scheme, authorities alleged."
