And who else is involved here?
John Conyers (D) stupid pig of a wife, Detroit City Council president Monica Conyers. She’s under FBI investigation for bribes involving Synagro.

DETROIT -- Lawyers for a strip club have asked a federal judge for permission to amend their lawsuit against the city so they can add bribery allegations against City Council President Monica Conyers and her former aide, Sam Riddle.
Brad Shafer, lawyer for the Zoo Bar in Detroit's Greektown area, asked U.S. District Judge Julian Abele Cook on Thursday for permission to amend a lawsuit that alleges the city unlawfully refused to transfer the strip club's operating permit from one owner to another.
The bar wishes to add allegations that it in 2006 "received a solicitation for a $25,000 bribe in order to obtain the vote of Monica Conyers," Shafer said in a court filing. "The solicitation was made through Councilwoman Conyers' aide, Sam Riddle, who offered to deliver the councilwoman's vote ... in exchange for the money."
