The Seattle Ethics Board accused City Councilman Richard McIver of breaking the city's ethics laws for awarding a no-bid contract to a friend's company just weeks after staying in the friend's Virgin Islands condominium, according to a report from the Seattle Times.

McIver awarded a consulting contract to the firm of Griffin, Hill and Associates, a firm that had just hired his friend Joann Francis, who owns the Caribbean condo where McIver had stayed. The Councilman denies any wrongdoing.
