Tarrant tax assessor calls for DA Joe Shannon to step down
Tarrant County Tax Assessor Ron Wright said Wednesday that District Attorney Joe Shannon should resign because of sexual harassment charges that became public last week.
Wright, who like Shannon is a Republican, is the first county elected official to call for Shannon to step down.
"I think it's the right thing to do, and appropriate not just for a Tarrant County elected official, but also as a Republican elected official," Wright said. "This is not going away."
Wright said he could not judge the merits of allegations made against Shannon by former Assistant District Attorney Sabrina Sabin, who accepted a $375,000 no-fault settlement with the county last September.
