| Description | DETROIT – City councilwoman Monica Conyers resigned from office Monday, days after admitting in court that she accepted bribes from a company in exchange for her vote on a lucrative city sludge-treatment contract.
Conyers, the wife of powerful Democratic congressman John Conyers who was voted into office in 2005 largely on his name, submitted her resignation in a letter to the city clerk's office Monday. It will take effect July 6.
"I am glad she did the right thing and resign from the Detroit City Council," Council President Ken Cockrel Jr. said in a statement. "Now we as a council and a city, can move on and forward in focusing on the vital issues our city faces — and we will." |
