Bully-Cummings was related to Kilpatrick money mishandling from his first term. If I am not mistaken, she was the one who had her name on the Navigator papers when it was purchased. However, I don’t know if she was aware if the money was from the city budget.

And for the record, they need to get rid of damn City Council. They’re more scandalous than anybody in the state.
