Transportation bureau hire
involved in corruption probe
PORTLAND (AP) —
The Portland Transportation
Bureau’s new construction
project manager has a felony
conviction for lying on tax
documents in connection to
a federal corruption investi-
gation.
According to court docu-
ments, Millicent Williams
directed $110,000 from a
nonprofit she ran toward an
inaugural ball at the request
of a Washington, D.C.,
councilman, The Oregonian/
OregonLive reported. She
pleaded guilty in 2013 and
served 15 months of proba-
tion. She was not accused of
personally benefiting from
the misdirection of funds.
Williams said she was
open with Portland officials
about the conviction during
the hiring process. In her
new position as the bureau’s
capital projects division
manager, she will oversee
a staff of 12 and manage
capital improvement proj-
ects that total $60 million to
$80 million.
City
officials
said
Williams’ career in the
nonprofit and public sectors
outweighed her criminal
conviction.
“She was chosen after
a highly competitive and
rigorous selection process,”
said Transportation Bureau
Director Leah Treat. “She
has been very forthcoming
about her court case, and I
have been impressed with
her honesty and her willing-
ness to take responsibility
for her actions. I believe
she has learned from her
mistakes.”
Williams was one of
several people implicated in
the federal investigation of
Harry Thomas Jr., who was
accused of embezzling more
than $350,000 in public
funds. He was convicted in
2012 and served three years
in prison.
At the time, Williams
ran a nonprofit that distrib-
uted public funds to youth
programs. In 2009, Thomas
asked Williams for a grant
to pay for a black-tie inau-
gural ball that had already
occurred. Williams said the
event had been described
to her as a venue for at-risk
youth to celebrate the
election of President Barack
Obama, which she believed
would be an appropriate use
of funds.
