Where can I buy my "I Love Detroit" t-shirt? From The Detroit News:
Judge Nancy Alida Farmer will determine if authorities have enough evidence to order Mathis to trial in Wayne County Circuit Court on allegations he touched himself in a sexual manner in front of a district administrator while meeting in his office.
Wasn't there a song about touching yourself? At least he wasn't touching her. No harm, no foul! And he did resign, though he later tried to do an Al Gore and take it back.
Mathis tried to take back his resignation June 18, but board members cited a Michigan attorney general's opinion that declares unconditional resignations from elected public office take effect immediately. Mathis admitted in a letter to board members he committed inappropriate actions and said health problems contributed to his poor judgment.
"I am following up with my doctors because I need to pursue treatment, and because I want to make sure that what happened doesn't ever happen again," Mathis, a cancer survivor, wrote to board members.
Let's read between the lines, shall we? He lawyer told him to say he had health issues because he could get some sympathy with the ignorant people on the jury.
Detroit rocks!
