Monica Conyers To Get A New Jail Girl Friend


Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers is in Federal Court and has pleaded guilty to felony charges that could put her behind bars for up to 5 years. Documents say she knowingly conspired to accept bribes or things of value while an agent of the City of Detroit.

She also faces fines of up to $200,000.

Action News has obtained the court documents that charge Conyers with 'Conspiracy to Commit Bribery Concerning Programs Receiving Federal Funds.'


Charging documents from the U.S. Attorney's office allege she met with an individual sent by Detroit businessman Rayford Jackson in the parking lot of the Butzel Family Center on November 20, 2007 and received an envelope containing cash.

Conyers is also accused of accepting another envelope containing cash on December 4, 2007 at a McDonald's parking lot in Detroit.

Conyers has repeatedly dismissed reporter questions regarding the controversy. She has been identified as "Councilmember A" who former Synagro exec James Rosendall claims he bribed in order to get a sludge contract.

Goodbye Monica,

You've been an embarrassment, a bully, a criminal, a conspiracy participant, ignorant, insulting...words cannot properly explain what you have done to your co-workers, your family and most importantly to your sworn office and the citizens of Detroit.

Rep. John Conyers was not available for comment Friday morning. His office released the following statement:

‘‘This has been a trying time for the Conyers family. With hope and prayer, they will make it through this as a family. Public officials must expect to be held to the highest ethical and legal standards. With this in mind, Mr. Conyers wants to work towards helping his family and the city recover from this serious matter.’’

So while you (in theory) sleep, eat, drink, commingle, co habitat with a known criminal, a confessed recipient of bribes for government leniency....you rub elbows with the Office of the President of the United States of America and many, many other of our nations leaders?

Sorry John...that's just too close for public trust.

What goes on in that family of yours anyway?

Don't you talk or tell each other the truth?

If your own family doesn't speak the truth, What is the general public supposed to expect from your family?
