The deficit was caused partly by instances of mind-boggling ineptitude or stupidity, including $15.2 million in unrecorded invoices and contracts and -- get this -- millions to cover 597 employees who weren't supposed to be on the payroll...

The findings will force (Emergency Financial Manager Robert) Bobb to close as many as 50 schools and cut thousands of jobs in the next two years. But my broken record is still playing: What happened to the money? Who's going to pay it back? And who's going to jail?

Great questions posed by Rochelle Reilly.  Gak.  Did I just type that?  Maybe I'm coming down with something...

597 phantom employees who will now force 50 schools with REAL employees to be closed and kids to be uprooted and reshuffled.  That is creepy.

But nothing is creepier than Congressman John Conyers wife, Monica.  The current top dog on the Detroit City Council, Monica has made a career out of beating women up at bars, calling political opponents names like Shrek, scolding school children for having the audacity to disapprove of her childish behavior and viciously making fun of a fellow council member because she believed he had cancer.  Oh, and she doesn't think much of white people, either.

She may actually be one of the worst people in the history of the American experiment and the more we learn the more every SANE Michigander wishes they could hide her from the rest of the planet.  Alas.  The Detroit News reports this morning that her latest magic-creepy-act was to get her violent ex-con felon of a brother a three month gig at the City's building department and *poof*, turn it into two years of taxpayer funded "employment."

Reggie Esters, 38, was fired from the $30,500 job last summer on claims of chronic absenteeism. About the same time, he was charged with 10 felonies stemming from allegations he brandished a shotgun at two people, according to court records. He pleaded guilty to one count and faces sentencing April 17.

Records obtained this week by The Detroit News show Esters submitted a resume showing he worked continuously for two construction firms from 1999 to 2006. State records show he was incarcerated for assault and weapons charges for much of that time.

Meah said Conyers wanted her brother hired as a $50,000 inspector, but he wasn't qualified and wouldn't pass a license exam. Instead, he was hired as an investigator who checked if businesses are properly licensed.

Conyers, whose maiden name is Esters, said Meah is wrong. She denied that Esters is her brother, despite papers filed in Wayne County Probate Court in 1976 that identify them as siblings with the same parents, Robert H. and Alice Esters.

Remember that old Shaggy song from the mid 1990s?  "It wasn't me."  

Congressman Conyers... your wife?  She is CREEPY!  Please retire and take her with you.  The citizens of Detroit and the Detroit Regional Chamber iterally can't take much more of her and her shotgun toting building-inspector siblings.
