Charlotte City Council member Tiawana Brown told reporters Thursday morning she won't resign after being federally indicted with her daughters.
"Why would I resign," Brown said. "I haven't been convicted of anything."
Why it matters: Brown, who represents District 3 in west Charlotte, plans to run again later this year.
Catch up quick: Federal prosecutors indicted Brown on wire fraud charges, according to the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. In a release Thursday morning, prosecutors described Brown and her daughters' alleged scheme to fraudulently obtain federal money during the pandemic.
The intrigue: In the indictment, prosecutors allege they received a total of at least $124,165 in loans. Brown says she received and paid back one loan for $20,833 a few months ago.
Per the indictment, Brown is charged with using money on expenditures outside of business, including $15,000 on her 50th birthday party in 2021 at the Harvey B. Gantt Center in Uptown, which included a horse-drawn carriage and a throne.
Zoom in: The charges allege between April 2020 and September 2021, Brown and her daughters conspired to defraud the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program and its Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and obtain COVID pandemic relief funds for their businesses by using loan applications that included false information or false documentation.

Back in the 70’s a friend’s aunt was an elementary school teacher who had a student named Orange - pronounced Ahn-jer-ray.
Why should she resign?
Everyone knows that fraud, kickbacks, bribery, favoritism are all just perks of office and “reparations”!
What in the world. This council member served 4 years for felony fraud in 1994.
Nice going Charlotte. Good to see you have STANDARDS on your city council members.
Nope.... unless you have an unquenchable desire for eye bleach.
They should have been charged with stealing oxygen.
Why? because she is black and will get away with it
