Sources reveal that a probe into the actions of a Houston-based industrial waste-handling firm is focusing on several Detroit politicians, including former mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Others mentioned to the Detroit Free Press were Bernard Kilpatrick, Kwame’s father, and Monica Conyers, the president of the Detroit City Council and the wife of Rep. John Conyers (D-MI). Sources say that there is still little direct evidence that Synagro Technologies gave any bribes to city council members in order to win a $1.2 billion contract with the city. (Detroit Free Press)
