I don't know what's worse. Charles Pugh stated that the Detroit convicts currently in prison should be counted in Detroit's Census or Brown called for Dave Bing to be given a massive shot of steroids.

I would think it'd be easier to get elected to the state legislature from Detroit than to get on City Council.

Okay, let me put it another way. In Lansing, Gary Brown would be another novice politician who was elected because of his connection to KK. In Detroit, he is one of NINE and people know about his connection to KK.
