Who’s signing Sharon McPhail’s pay check?
City of Detroit?
Who’s she working for?
Kwame, right?
She is Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s general counsel, according to the newspapers I read.
Why should city taxpayers foot the bill to represent him? This whole mess — punishing the cops for investigating him, having an affair with his chief of staff and lying about it in court — is about personal stuff he and he alone dragged into the Coleman A. Young Building.
And there’s Samuel McCargo. He’s “the mayor’s private lawyer being paid by the city,” according to yesterday’s (Feb. 8, 2008) Detroit Free Press.
Dig deep, Kwame, and pay for your lawyers from your own funds.
Freeloading is just one more betrayal.
