Chris Wright, Councilman Jack Kelly's chief of staff, was placed on unpaid leave today, according to a one paragraph statement from the councilman. Wright was indicted two weeks ago on federal corruption charges. Kelly was not charged.
"Chris understood that his continuing presence in the office would be a distraction," Kelly's statement said. "I did not reach this decision lightly. Chris has been a loyal and effective City employee for many years. He deserves the presumption of innocence unless and until the courts find otherwise."
