They’ve accused two of the nonprofit’s executives, former CEO Rahim Islam and ex-CFO Shahied Dawan, of funneling bribe money to Johnson through a $67,000 consulting contract for his wife, Dawn Chavous, to persuade him to introduce a bill before Council that would change the zoning to allow for the envisioned development.
But Johnson’s lawyer, Patrick Egan, balked at the suggestion that Johnson’s support of the zoning bill had anything to do with his wife’s work for a separate wing of Universal focused on charter schools. He countered Islam’s confident July 2013 email with another from October 2014 — sent just days before they hoped Johnson would introduce the zoning bill. In it, Dranoff expressed some measure of doubt that they could count on the councilmember’s support.
“Until you pass home plate, it’s not done,” Dranoff said Friday. “We always hope that … the powers that be will move forward with the legislation. But I also had concerns that it would be an obstacle.”
