The Daily News Editorial Board Asks "Where's Jack?"

IT'S BEEN 10 days since the U.S. attorney charged Christopher Wright, chief of staff for Councilman Jack Kelly, with a fraud conspiracy and other charges in a nine-count indictment.

Wright is accused of using his official position with Council to give special treatment to two real-estate developers and their lawyer - all of whom have also been charged - in return for cash and gifts, including a free apartment and free legal services.

And in 10 days, we've heard barely a word from the councilman: No word on how long Wright will be able to keep his job, no word on how aware Kelly might have been about what might have been going on in his office or what he's doing to get to the bottom of these charges, and no word on how he intends to keep it from happening again.

Good editorial. Maybe not as good as the use of Richie Valens, but, it will do.
