Pay-to-Play Reform: Marriage License Edition

Just two days after Councilman Steven Fulop announced plans for big developer pay-to-play reforms, a government official has resigned over accusations of corruption.

The outgoing official was not a building inspector or member of the historic preservation commission or the zoning board. Instead, it was Deputy Mayor Ador Equipado who resigned after accusations he demanded a "personal contribution" for marrying a couple, a job included in his salaried position at City Hall.
