Good. Now perhaps Detroit can begin to heal.
Monica Conyers, the chairwoman of the Detroit City Council and wife of House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.), resigned her seat on the Detroit City Council on Monday.
Conyers pleaded guilty Friday to conspiracy to commit bribery in connection with a city sludge-hauling scandal. As a member of the Detroit City Council in 2007, Conyers cast the deciding vote in favor of awarding a $1.2 billion contract to Synagro Technologies Inc.
Conyers is expected to face between three and five years in federal prison.
