sentencing drew supporters and detractors. >> i'm happy that the sentence was not longer than it was. >> hopefully the time that he is away he will think of the good he did but also consider the bad that he has done and work to move on with his life and hopefully the county can move on as well. >> reporter: johnson's wife leslie pleaded guilty to one count of tampering with evidence. she will appear for sentencing in court and faces a maximum possible sentence of 18 months. that is friday at the federal courthouse in greenbelt. >> thanks, chris. the scandal rocked prince george's county politics. but today the current leaders said they are ready to move forward. darcy spencer continues our team coverage now live from upper marlboro. >> reporter: the scandal may have read like a movie script but for the people in the county

are excited about the county. >> reporter: the county leaders are ready to put this chapter behind them. but the u.s. attorney indicated during that press conference that the corruption investigation continues here in prince george's. reporting live, darcy spencer, news4. back to you. >> thank you. there is news tonight that the head of the federal aviation administration has resigned. he was arrested for drunk driving over the weekend. randy babbitt pulled over on saturday night after drive drooing the wrong way in fairfax. he submitted his resignation to the transportation secretary just a short time ago. he released a statement that read in part serving as faa administrator has been an honor and the highlight of my professional career but i'm unwilling to let anything cast a shadow on the outstanding work done 24 hours a day and seven

harry thomas jr., who showed up and was besieged by reporters. >> sitting on the council thomas declined to say much to news4 or any reporter. >> my attorneys will address any questions you have. >> reporter: the fbi and irs raided thomas's home in the northeast washington area seizing luxly vehicles and boxes of paper. it has embarrassed many council members who want him to take a paid leave of absence and others say she should be allowed to up defend himself. >> i like a lot of this has to do with his own decision making and family's decision making on what to do here in the council. we don't have power to do anything. we can't remove him. and i'm not supporting that. >> reporter: the ethics bill

would slark funds available for council members from 80,000 to $40,000. the bill would tighten reporting campaign contributions and an ethics board would have able to fine and investigation council members. >> the bill has to be voted on again in two weeks. watch for some try to make it even tougher. >> thank you, tom. turning now to the wet weather. it has been raining much of the day tlaen is a lot more to come. doug kammerer is tracking it all from the weather center. >> so far we have seen a tenth a a quarter inch of rain. but over the next 24 hours expect that to go to 1 to 2 inches of rain. that's how much we have coming. as the cold air moves in some of that will change to snow. 55 degrees is the current temperature. winds out of the south at 10 miles per hour. everyone nice and warm.

the middle class. >> reporter: the democrats are struggling to keep a payroll tax from expiring at the end of the month. the democrats are offering to pay for it by raising taxes on the rich. >> this was not a compromise but just another bill designed to fail so democrats can have another week of fun and games on the senate floor. >> reporter: while president obama calls for a new, new nationalism, on capitol hill, it's same old politics. and for the record, teddy roosevelt's new nationalism did not go over well with voters. he lost the election in a blowout. on capitol hill, brian mooar, news4. more encouraging news for newt gingrich. a washington post poll shows that gingrich is the clear front runner in iowa. 33% of likely voters said they support the former house

who was spending time outdoors. i said watch out for tomorrow. will the be one of the days where the rain continues to come down. some areas will see 1 to 2 inches of rain tomorrow and then the cold air sweeps in. and we have something else to talk about. let's look outside and show you how things are look right now. plenty of cloud cover and shower activity too. the rain will continue through the night but in the shower variety. most areas seeing off and on showers. the heaviest rain in southern portions of maryland. currently 57 degrees. the temperature has gone up the last hour up two degrees from 55. winds out of the south at 11 miles per hour helping to continue to warm up the temperatures. look at the rest of the region. here we are in the first week of december and 36 in leesburg and 63 in fredericksburg. that is some very warm air. you only get this warm in december when you've got a strong front around the area.

that front is just now off to west. you can see the shower activity along 81 down into southern maryland. that's where the heaviest rain is. right around leonardtown where that rain is. it has made its way over the last four hours through district and pushing down to the south. here's the frontal boundary right in here. you can see more showers lining up along the front. but that is not where the heavy rain is. this is an area of low pressure in the upper levels drawing up a ton of moisture from the gulf of mexico. it will move our way. warm air ahead of it and cold air in behind it. and that will work in here during the day tomorrow. 6:00 tonight, we have the showers out there. but overnight just a few showers from time to time. but tomorrow morning waking up

around 7:00, to 7:30, front royal through washington i think you will be dealing with a very wet start to the day and it is going the stay that way as we move through the afternoon, heavy downpours from time to time, 6:00, 7:00 tomorrow night still dealing with heavy rain. once again, 1 to 2 inches of rain, some areas 2 and a half to 3 inches of rain tomorrow. that is a lot of rain in 12 hours. and there is the cold air starting to come in. i think the temperatures all day will be on the decline starting off warm early but the temperatures will fall during the day. by tomorrow night that rain switches to snow in montgomery and loudoun county into the north and west. the rest of us stay rain. we are looking at winter storm watch to the west in west virginia but it does not include much of virginia at all. but i would not be surprised to

see a winter weather advisory tomorrow. 2 to 5 inches of petersburg in through west virginia. 1 to 2 inches including the i-81 area along the front range of the blue ridge and east of that area just a coating. we'll zoom in here, rockville maybe a coating. but leesburg could get accumulating snow out there. manassas just a coating. east of 95 just a few flakes but that's about it. the forecast this evening rain. 54 to 60 degrees. tomorrow morning waking up to a mild start but the rain is going to move in here. we are going the see heavy rain. 54 to 57 degrees tomorrow afternoon. the temperatures will be falling from temperatures in the mid- to upper-50s down the low to mid-40s by late afternoon. the rain likely heavy at times.

not only do we see the rain change to snow but the temperatures get here. look at the 40s you will saturday and all the way through next week. say good-bye to the warm temperatures. but everybody saying it's about time. we need to get in the holiday spirit somehow. >> it doesn't sound like will the be cold enough for icy conditions out there? >> i'm not too worried about that. thursday morning most areas should be okay. i don't except school closings unless you are wait out to the west. in virginia they reached a billion dollars deal to improve roads.

and evaluate whether he makes the club or not. and after many conversations i got him to agree to that. the rest is history. but i think this guy's pretty mature. i don't look at him age wise like we probably should. but i think he's definitely going the make this spring very interesting. >> that will be fun. things heating up in the nba. the latest jaw dropping rumor, the lakers trying to trade for dwight howard and chris paul. the miami heat west. >> i'm thinking new orleans and what's ease name? >> and giving up the team to get ricky williams. they are giving up everybody except kobe. it ain't going to happen. >> that would be fun to see. and we talked about maryland earlier.
