Former Vandella and Detroit Councilwoman, Martha Reeves may have “Nowhere to run” in federal probe
By Kevin “Coach” Collins
This is a cautionary tale of what happens when Democrats take complete control of any level of government.
Recently leaked federal court documents reveal the systematic extortion that has become a necessary part of doing business in the City of Detroit.
Based on the testimony of Synagro representative Rayford Jackson, dealing with totally Democrat controlled Detroit meant greasing the palms of anyone in Motown’s government who stepped forward.
Jackson has even reported buying the vote of former City Council member Martha Reeves 68 , who rocked in the 1960’s as Martha and the Vandellas. Now Reeves may have “Nowhere to run” to take a phrase from one of her hits.
Jackson bribed City Council members’ political consultants and even aspiring Board of Education candidates. Among their usual demands were jobs, contributions to their campaigns and favored projects.
So far Jackson who swears he put nearly $350,000 into greedy palms and four others have pleaded guilty in this probe.
His bribe bought a hug and a vote
The investigation centers on Detroit’s shake down of Synagro a sludge hauling firm. The extortion was led by former Detroit City Council President Monica Conyers (Congressman John Conyers wife) who was convicted in federal court and sentenced to a term of prison.
Synagro “won” a $1.2 billion contract by buying Conyers, Councilwoman Reeves and others.
Records show that on the same day Reeves received a $1000.00 campaign contribution from a Synagro associate, a wire tap caught Jackson bragging he had cinched the deal with Reeves who hugged him and pledged her support for his project. Twelve days later Reeves joined the 5 to 4 majority in approving the contract.
Democrats trying to do to America what they’ve done Detroit
The grim truth is Democrats have destroyed Detroit, a once great American city. Detroit’s destruction provides another reminder of the dangers of one Party rule, especially when it is Democrats who are given unchecked power anywhere. The cesspool that is Motown is still not drained. The damage these people have done will take years, if ever, to fix. If we aren’t vigilant the Democrats will make the whole country run like Detroit.
Pledge your support to America.
If you’ve had enough fight what the Marxist Democrats want to do to us because the life of America depends on you and all of us.
Pray for America. God will hear us and save our country from the Marxists if we ask for His help. We are fighting powerful foreign AND domestic enemies.
Answer the challenge! Be a warrior for freedom!
If we let the sun set on this great nation we won’t see its likes again.
