The mayor's chief integrity officer has come down hard on state Rep. Dwight Evans and recently-resigned School Reform Commission Chairman Robert Archie in a long awaited fact-finding report released Thursday afternoon.
The report, prepared by Joan Markman for Mayor Michael Nutter, concludes that Archie "facilitated" Evans's "intense lobbying effort to change the outcome of the [Renaissance] match process to secure for Foundations the SDP's contract to manage [Martin Luther King High School.]"
"Although he publicly recused from voting on that contracting decision, Archie facilitated Evans' s effort, both before and after the SRC vote on March 16, 2011,"
