There are several more articles here. This is HUGE. McNamara is not running for another term as County Exec. He is the dems kingmaker. Jenny Granholm, our lousy AG got his start from him as his attorney. Mike Duggan was another attorney for him. He's now prosecutor of Wayne County. Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is another McNamara friend. His dad is McNamara's spokesman. Kilpatrick's mom is a congresswoman. All dem roads in Wayne County lead to Ed McNamara. It's an old stereotype, but he's an old fashion Irish Urban Political Boss in the style of the Daleys and Boss Tweeds.

There are SEVERAL stories here. I'm not printing them all, so click on the link HERE. This can impact everything, especially if his buddies gets shown the door in a primary.

BTW - I only posted parts I and II.(3 is on the Detroit News site) Also, on the Detroit News page, some of the documents are scanned and on the site as evidence. Paul Egan did his homework. The News is the 'moderate-conservative' paper overall(except on guns).

PING - MCRGO is going to love this too.

BTW - To all those that don't know, Michigan's most anti-2a governor candidate, Granholm, is a McNamara protege, so as far as I'm concerned this a gun related issue as well as it's a scandal involving a gun grabber. Anti-gun rat Mike Duggan is also tied to McNamara.

Great article, Dan. Please add me to your Michigan bump list. (I live in St. Clair Shores.)

I hope this has the impact it should on the residents of Wayne County and the state. Unfortunately, I don't hold out much hope for the residents of Detroit. Look how many times they re-elected that crooked rat bastard Coleman Young.

BUMP!

"If we're buying runway lights, you're not going to find any supplier in Wayne County that can supply runway lights," Naughton said.
You're only looking in your own county for something as specialized as runway lights?
county rules that give 4-percent price preferences to Wayne County-based contractors
Oh I see ... I'm all for keeping the work local but not in some rigged way. I'm sure there were other "considerations" as well.
