WEEK IN REVIEW: Worthy may expand charges against Kilpatrick
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says she may expand perjury charges against Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, claiming he lied about affairs with several women, based on a statement during a police whistle-blower trial last summer, the Detroit Free Press reported.
Also:
-- William Mitchell III,
a former Kilpatrick attorney, said in a deposition that his job was to
keep text messages linked to an $8.4 million whistle-blowers'
settlement secret, the Associated Press reported.
-- Detroit City Council has delayed its scheduled July 25 vote on proposed rules for removing Kilpatrick from office to Aug. 8, the Free Press reported.
-- Kilpatrick's campaign finance reports show he paid $170,000 in fees to his father, Bernard Kilpatrick, and Michael Tardif, The Detroit News
reported. Federal authorities have asked about both in their
investigation of the $47 million sludge-hauling contract with
Houston-based Synagro Technologies.
-- Council members Barbara-Rose Collins, JoAnn Watson, Martha Reeves and Ken Cockrel Jr. said they would return or donate to charity contributions to their campaigns made by Synagro representatives, the Free Press reported. Council member Sheila Cockrel said she already had returned a contribution.
-- Attorney Steve Fishman says the government has not tried to question council member Monica Conyers in the Synagro investigation, the Associated Press reported. Former Conyers spokes-man Sam Riddle Jr. says he was questioned by the FBI and that Conyers is a target.
Collins
said she was approached Tuesday by FBI agents who told her she was a
subject in the investigation, but not a target, the Free Press
reported. She told agents she didn't take a payoff for her vote. Reeves
said the FBI left a phone message at her home Thursday when she was
away, the Associated Press reported.
Area home sales up again
The number of Detroit-area home sales increased by 13.1 percent in
June, compared with June 2007, marking the sixth straight month of
year-over-year growth in residential sales, according to statistics
released Tuesday by the Farmington Hills-based MLS RealComp II Ltd.
The single largest increase was in Detroit, which had a 54.9 percent increase over June 2007.
