WILSON: Pay-To-Play TV?

“Pay To Play,” they call it. If you want to land a lucrative contract with the City of Detroit, you’ve got to pay the right people. It's the subject of Steve Wilson's latest investigation. Have some city council candidates been playing that game to help get elected?

Charles Pugh has little integrity. He is alleged to have provided Kwame Kilpatrick with the information of Hendrix' son's arrest, which was obliquely referred to by KK at the end of their debate. The younger Hendrix got into a fight with his girl friend. Apparently her brother, who was Pugh's boy friend, broke out the windows of Hendrix's son's car.

Let's be "balanced" here. "He who is without sin, cast the first stone". At the same time "....with the same measure (harshness) you judge, it will come back to you." We ALL need prayer and to do SELF examination for we WILL reap WHATSOEVER is sown.

Same turd, different day. Nothing but SCUM down there. Always was, always will be. Just look at the kids, they are raised from a tender age to be crooks and killers. Leaders are screwing the people and the citizens are killing each other. I say in a few years all the bad guys will be in jail or dead so, we will be able to see the city make a turn for the better.

Thank you Karinda fro being the only candidate out of many that were contacted and paid money to step forward and expose yet another ugly blemish for city. Only thru exposurer can re effectively move forward to a better more honest Detroit. Any Detroiter that does not take a moment to look strongly at your campaign and work hard to get you elected deserves the same mess that politicians are offering.CP you know better. You are a Journalist. If I did not question your integrity before I really do now. Thanks Karinda Washington..You have me and my families votes

Let me add some coals to the fire by stating that Mr. Pugh had the audacity to announce that Ms. Christine Beatty would be integral in his campaign. Well now, maybe he needs to not only check his sexuality but also his common sense. He even quit his day job for this. Good Luck!
