Another legendary Detroit politician dies. Though I don't think you'll hear anyone compare Currie in the same light as, say, "Mother" Erma Henderson.

Found this oldie.
Taxpayers' legal tab for Currie: $100,000

Her picture abscured by [[among others) a Saab commercial, a brand of car that also died this year...

Jackie Currie was complicit in the political corruption that plagues this city. She allowed the absentee ballot box to be stuffed with the votes of people who were incompetent to vote due to death or lesser ills.

A politician who overstayed her welcome by quite a few years, but that's really all I can say. I've never been very good at speaking ill of many of the dead.
