The campaign website for Detroit Mayoral candidate and state Senator Coleman Young II has been shutdown for non-payment.

Web designer Ramon Burnham offered to build and maintain Young's site for a $200 dollars a month. Burnham typically charges up to five thousand dollars for the service, but he gave Young a discount because he believes in the senator's campaign.

But Burnham said the campaign gave him the run-a-round when it was time to pay. The campaign made one payment but still owes about $400 dollars.

Young has not answered calls for comment. Campaign manager Adolph Mongo said a new website is in the works because they did not like the old one.

Burnham said the campaign never expressed any dissatisfaction with the site.
