Sherry Gay Dagnogo & The Case Of The Mysterious Detroit Land Bank Authority Accidental Blight Demolition

Sherry & Mike Duggan

I wonder how Sherry Gay-Dagnogo's domestic nonprofit acquired that house from the Detroit Land Bank Authority, during an ongoing SIGTARP investigation, as an elected state official.

We should ask Sherry and Mike Duggan.

The property tax of 14567 Minock, Parcel #22091257, is recorded in Wayne County Treasurer Office as COALITION TO INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION

Sherry & Joe Biden

It seems her campaign committee, SHERRY GAY-DAGNOGO STRONG WOMEN LEAD PAC, is also registered at the same address as her domestic nonprofit corporation.

Perhaps, we should ask Joe Biden.

Maybe Joe knows about her campaign committee.

Sherry should sue the City of Detroit, but I just cannot figure out if she would do so: 

• in her official capacity as a Michigan State Representative office holder;
• in her official capacity as President of COALITION TO INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION;
• in her official capacity of her SHERRY GAY-DAGNOGO STRONG WOMEN LEAD PAC; or,
• in her personal capacity.

Sherry could sue the Detroit Land Bank Authority, if only it was incorporated, but hey, what do I know?

I know Sherry could also sue SIGTARP, since they are looking into demolition contracts.

I have popcorn, you know.

State rep's Detroit home mysteriously torn down — and officials don't know why

Investment home owned by State Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo was torn down mysteriously and no one knows who is responsible. The land where the house once stood was photographed Monday, Sept. 30, 2019.

The demolition of a Detroit home owned by Michigan State Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo is under investigation after it was mysteriously torn down nearly two weeks ago with no record of who did it.

Gay-Dagnogo said the demolition of the west side home near the Brightmoor neighborhood should have never happened and likened it to a modern day 'Whodunit' because she hasn't received any answers about who is responsible for the mishap.

"I have a lot of questions," Gay-Dagnogo said in an interview Friday, adding that she didn't live in the home but was in the process of renovating it. "There's no record at all at the city, from what they can find so far, that has anything about my house being torn down. They have no idea. It's a mystery. I'm just taken aback and trying to process this. How could this happen?"

More: Three companies suspended from Detroit's demolition program

The city of Detroit posts detailed information about every city or Detroit Land Bank Authority-contracted demolition that has occurred on its publicly available Open Data Portal.

The Free Press independently reviewed the city's data portal website and found no record of a planned or completed demolition of Gay-Dagnogo's property, at 14567 Minock St.

Detroit Building Authority Director Tyrone Clifton said in a statement that the demolition "was not ordered, directed or funded by the city."

"There also was no permit pulled by any private party for demolition at this address," Clifton said. "At this time, we are actively investigating to see if we can help determine who was responsible."

But it appears the city has no idea, yet, who tore the house down. Gay-Dagnogo said Monday she hasn't received an update from officials.

"It’s a hole in the ground," she said. "It’s clean. It was a professional company. It has an orange barricade around the big hole in the ground."

The home next door to Gay-Dagnogo's,14561 Minock, was demolished months ago on July 11 by Adamo Group, Inc., which was paid $22,000 for the job, according to city records. The vacant home was torn down after it was damaged by a fire.

Adamo, which is one of the largest contractors in the city's demolition program, previously faced suspension for tearing down the wrong home in May 2018, the Free Press reported.

When asked whether Adamo had been cleared of any wrongdoing in this instance, mayoral spokesman John Roach did not directly answer the question but instead reiterated "it's a matter under investigation."

Adamo has torn down 3,397 homes for the city, totaling more than $56 million in work, according to records reviewed by the Free Press.

The company's attorney, Christian Hauser, said "Adamo had absolutely nothing to do with the demolition of the structure at 14567 Minock."

Hauser said his client has a photo of the house still standing on July 30 when they performed a site visit after demolishing the home next door.

"My client indicated they would never go back and knock down another house like that just randomly," Hauser said.

"Any time one of our demolition contractors commits a serious violation, we act immediately to address it," Detroit Building Authority Special Projects Director Brian Farkas said at the time. In that instance, Adamo had "mistakenly knocked down a Land Bank-owned house at 5792 Holcomb that was also in the demolition pipeline but not the house under contract for demolition," Farkas said last year.

Gay-Dagnogo purchased the home last year through her nonprofit, Coalition to Integrate Technology and Education. Assessor records show the nonprofit purchased the home for $1,000 on July 25, 2018 from the Detroit Land Bank Authority.

The small, longtime nonprofit, which focuses on community engagement and education, had worked out an agreement with the Detroit Land Bank Authority, Gay-Dagnogo said, and  planned to rehab the property this year. Gay-Dagnogo said they wanted to give the home to a needy family or transform it into an affordable housing property. The nonprofit owns another house in addition to the one that was demolished.

Her home, which was boarded up, sustained fire damage in mid-June after the vacant property next door caught on fire. The fire burned her roof, melted the siding on the side of her home that was adjacent to the property.

This Detroit home, owned by Michigan State Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo was mysteriously torn down nearly two weeks ago. 

Gay-Dagnogo said she was informed her home was torn down by a neighbor late last week, who had left her home for several hours and came back and noticed the state representative's home was gone. We most definitely have to find out who tore down this house because they did a really good job, in only a few hours, too!

The neighbor knew Gay-Dagnogo was in the process of fixing the home up and she thought perhaps that the organization had changed its mind and elected to tear the home down.

But Gay-Dagnogo said that wasn't the case. She said she recently received a letter in the mail from a city inspector who went to the home on Sept. 14. The letter indicated that Gay-Dagnogo had until Oct. 14 to bring her home into compliance, by either rehabbing it or electing to demolish it.

Gay-Dagnogo said they elected to continue with their plans to rehab the property.

"Only to find out it was gone," she said. "It wasn't supposed to be torn down. My house was still standing, my house was boarded. We were waiting to get an assessment of what it would cost to restore it."

Gay-Dagnogo  said she has since spoken with  police who also could find no city records related to her home being demolished but are investigating what happened.

Gay-Dagnogo said she also spoke with Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who assured her that he "was going to investigate and get o the bottom of it."

Gay-Dagnogo, who is in her third term as state representative of Michigan’s 8th District, has been a vocal critic of the administration's handling of the demolition program and recently posted a status on Facebook questioning Duggan's proposed $250 million bond that would tear down 16,000 homes across the city.

Duggan's administration officially submitted the bond to the Detroit City Council earlier this month. Total possible spending on blight removal, including funds outside the bond proposal, could be as high as $420 million, Duggan said. That would include another 3,000 houses that would be removed using federal dollars.

The city's demolition program has faced intense scrutiny in recent years for its practices and a highly publicized federal probe.

The federal investigation resulted in criminal charges in April against two former employees of a demolition firm, one of whom worked for the city of Detroit at some point.

Federal agencies have been probing various facets of the city's program over the past several years.

After the Free Press published a series of investigative stories about the program, Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Brenda Lawrence jointly called for increased oversight of the city's blight remediation efforts.

Gay-Dagnogo said her home being wrongly torn down has reinforced her opinion of the program, which she said she believes lacks enough protocols and safeguards.

"I've been vocal about the mayor and the quest for an additional $250 million," Gay-Dagnogo said. "And I have my concerns about the number of minority companies who have access to the program.But that was all based on what I've read and understanding what has happened to other people and  just the dysfunction. But now? It further substantiates how I feel about the program and takes it to a whole new level."

Gay-Dagnogo said she recently drafted a resolution calling for more transparency over the city's demolition program, which the administration has fiercely defended.

But she said she's glad this happened to her and not a regular citizen.

"I just want to know what lies underneath," she said. "I'm very disappointed. What if this happened to a citizen who doesn't have the reach to have these conversations. What kind of hoops would they be put through to try and bring some resolution to them losing their home."

Gay-Dagnogo said her nonprofit was looking forward to perhaps giving the home away to a family around Christmas but now it's gone.

"Instead of just boarding up the same houses, we figured we'd buy a couple houses and make an impact that way," Gay-Dagnogo said. "What if this was somebody who sunk in their money to try to move in a house? To be honest, that's what's very unnerving for me."

Sherry Gay Dagnogo, $1000 Reward & The Case Of Her Accidentally Demolished Blighted Detroit Land Bank Authority House

Recently, the world was stunned by the tale of Sherry and her nonprofit's missing house.

Sherry Gay Dagnogo & The Case Of The Mysterious Detroit Land Bank Authority Accidental Blight Demolition

But have no fear, for Sherry Gay Dagnogo is on the case of trying to find out who accidentally demolished her nonprofit's blighted Detroit Land Bank Authority home, but this time, the Michigan State Representative stands in the public square, in front of Detroit City Council, representing her nonprofit,  COALITION TO INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION , trying to explain how this interference of settling her claims for the fire of the house next door owned by the City of Detroit/Detroit Land Bank Authority burnt up her nonprofit's home.

Having worked as a staffer for City Council during the formation and implementation of the Detroit Land Bank Authority, I bet Sherry knows where all the answers are within the City Departments.

If her home, her nonprofit's home, was burnt by a fire of a [sic] "City property or another Land Bank", where she stated that the interested parties to the insurance claim still have questions of how the fire originated, then riddle me this: Will the insurance company hold the Detroit Land Bank Authority of the City of Detroit liable to the claim?

She will have to go to the Michigan Court of Claims to answer that question or PACER.

Larry Garcia, Corporate Council for the City of Detroit, was looking rather confident when he advised City Council to remain silent on the matter, considering that his trials on other matters of Detroit Land Bank Authority properties start October 21, 2019.

I am routing for Sherry the Sleuth to get to the bottom of the accidental demolished blight questions for her insurance company.

She is one of the "Elected Ones", you know.

She should ask Butch Hollowell for assistance.

Perhaps, Butch can represent Sherry the Sleuth.

All I know is that we need to find out who accidentally demolished her nonprofit's blighted property because whoever did it, did a really good job, where the costs are easily calculated to be far less that $22,000, and was done in just a few hours, that way, Detroit would have no need for another bond.

I wonder if she will give me that $1,000 reward when I present her with information of the accidental demolition.

State lawmaker cautions Detroit council on demo work after house vanishes

Detroit — State Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo is urging Detroit's City Council to carefully weigh whether more taxpayer funds should be allocated for demolition after a home her nonprofit was renovating was mysteriously razed.

Gay-Dagnogo, during Tuesday's formal session, said she was "perplexed" by the loss of the home on Minock that she'd hoped to gift to a needy family this holiday season.

A house at 14567 Minock in Detroit belonging to state Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo was demolished and removed without her knowing.

The Detroit Democrat, who opposes Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan's plan to put a $250 million bond proposal for voters in the spring to fund demolition, noted controversy surrounding the city's federally funded effort that's been the subject of local, state and federal probes.

The Detroit News last week reported a lack of controls early in the program allowed contractors to name their own price for dirt in the federally-funded demolition program.

"I caution this body in moving too quickly on a demolition initiative that would cost the taxpayers more money," she said. "We have too many unanswered questions on the use of current dollars for demolition. I want to know how costs are established."

Gay-Dagnogo, founder of the Coalition to Integrate Technology and Education, said the razing of the house at 14567 Minock near Stoepel Park is a "huge mystery." The lawmaker is offering a $1,000 reward for information on the demolition.

She and city officials agree there isn't a record of a demolition permit nor any effort to ensure utilities had been disconnected or gain environmental approvals.

Detroit assistant police chief David LeValley confirmed late Monday that the department has opened a criminal investigation into the incident. Gay-Dagnogo met with police on Saturday.

Detroit Corporation Counsel Lawrence Garcia briefly addressed council Tuesday, stressing that the demolition "was not ordered, directed or funded by the city." Garcia said that the situation is "quite bizarre" and agreed "there was no paperwork for this one."

The incident, he said, remains under investigation of the Detroit police and because of that "there's not a lot we can say."

City officials, he said, "should remain largely silent while it's pending."

"There's no need to short-circuit the normal process of the investigation," he said. "That's why not much is being said by the administration right now."

Gay-Dagnogo has said the house had undergone an investment of about $42,000 for a new roof and windows and other repairs. The nonprofit purchased the property for about $1,000 and the sale closed on July 25, 2018.

But in mid-June, it sustained damage when an adjacent property owned by the city caught fire. The fire-damaged house at 14561 Minock, she said, was razed in July by the demolition firm Adamo Group. That work was fully completed on July 19, according to the city.

Christian Hauser, an attorney for Adamo, said Monday that Adamo "had nothing to do with the demolition of the structure at 14567 Minock."

Gay-Dagnogo said Tuesday that it cost $22,000 to tear down the other Minock house after it burned.

"That's a lot of money and a lot of taxpayer money," she said, noting that more investment is needed in senior home repair. "We need somebody to champion something for poor people who don't have any other way to get their home fixed."

The lawmaker also told council members Tuesday that the Detroit caucus is working to draft a resolution to ensure there's greater oversight of federal funds intended for home repair.

"Let's prevent blight on the front-end, as opposed to pay people to demolish houses, who have these contracts, on the back-end," she said.

Councilman James Tate, who represents the northwest Detroit district, pledged to Gay-Dagnogo that "we'll do whatever we can do to get to the bottom of this."

Since the fire, Gay-Dagnogo said her nonprofit and its partners ensured the house was secure and were seeking quotes to have repair work done. The city, she said, had set a compliance deadline of Oct. 14.

"We were working and getting quotes from different organizations to determine our best path forward after the fire," she said Monday.

Gay-Dagnogo said a blight busting group went to the property last Thursday to do an assessment and provide a quote for the rehab work. That's when, she said, they "let us know the house was no longer there."

Gay-Dagnogo said she's since received calls and emails from others who contend they've experienced the same thing.

"What protocols are in place to prevent this and how do we determine if there are others out there that this has happened to as well," she said.

Council President Brenda Jones said she's submitted multiple questions to get answers about what happened, saying "it shocked me."

"It is a surprise to me and hopefully we will soon get some answers to what happened," Jones said.

Sherry Gay-Dagnogo Explores A Run For Congress - My Personal Notes

Sherry Gay Dagnogo & Hillary Clinton

Another state lawmaker running for Conyers’ seat

State Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo says she’s “exploring a run” for the U.S. House seat vacated by longtime Rep. John Conyers Jr.

Conyers, 88, resigned in early December amid allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior with female aides.

Gay-Dagnogo, a Democrat representing Michigan’s 8th House District in northwest Detroit, has pulled candidate nominating petitions, she told a group of friends and supporters gathered for a promised “announcement” at her birthday party this past week at the Detroit Seafood Market.

“I will stand for justice, I will fight on behalf of my people, but it will require more than me. It will be more than a campaign. It will be a movement,” the lawmaker told the group, according to a video of her remarks.

Sherry Gay Dagnogo & Mike Duggan

“We have someone in the White House that has shown us that he does not care about our immigrants.

He does not care about the Dreamers, he does not care about civil rights. Don’t be fooled. So you can’t send somebody there that does not know how to negotiate on the best interest of our community. I don’t care how long they’ve served or where they’ve been. Debate me for the seat.”

She expressed admiration for Conyers, who served in Congress for nearly 53 years and for whom she volunteered.

“I love and adore Congressman John Conyers,” Gay-Dagnogo said. “When many were running away from him and would not stand up with him, I put my name and face on the line because I knew I was standing up for a man that Dr. King stood up for.”

Gay-Dagnogo, serving her second term in the state House, said in a subsequent email to supporters that she would forgo her last term in the state House to campaign for the congressional seat in the 13th District, which includes parts of Detroit and suburban Wayne County.

The primary race already includes Conyers’ 27-year-old son, John Conyers III, and his great-nephew Sen. Ian Conyers.

Others in the running include state Sen. Coleman Young III, Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones and Democratic activist Michael Gilmore. Detroit NAACP executive director Donnell White is also reportedly mulling a run.

Gay-Dagnogo, who lives in North Rosedale Park, is a former science teacher in Detroit public schools and previously served as a Detroit City Council staff member and as a community organizer, according to her state House biography.

She has said she will talk with residents in each municipality of the district before making a final decision.

Tales Of The New Crown: Sherry "The Sleuth" Gay Dagnogo Has Lost Her Sister, Julena Gay To The Cooties

Sherry "The Sleuth" Gay Dagnogo lost her handler, Fat Ass, from the cooties.

Now, she has lost her sister to the cooties.

Perhaps, she should have referred her sister to her new telehealth care cooties testing referral business.

I wonder if Fauci will attend the funeral, if there is a funeral.

She can hire Debbie Williams to coordinate the funeral.

Julena Gay, sister of Detroit lawmaker Sherry Gay Dagnogo, dies after battling coronavirus

Sherry & Julena in Lansing

A dystopian way of life has settled over metro Detroit as the coronavirus rages, yet humanity shines in the face of COVID-19. Detroit Free Press

Julena Gay, the sister of state Rep. Sherry Gay Dagnogo, D-Detroit, died Tuesday after battling coronavirus for several weeks.

Gay Dagnogo said last week that her sister had been on a ventilator for two weeks, but was improving. On Monday, she posted on her Facebook page that while her sister was recovering from COVID-19, she had developed sepsis, a life-threatening infection.

This obituary is part of “We Will Remember,” a series about those we’ve lost to the coronavirus.

Early Wednesday morning, she posted: "I’m Devastated, Heartbroken, and Disappointed! ... This feels like a horrible nightmare that I’m trapped in! God help me! I want my Sisterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Gay, 63, lived in Detroit and worked at Chrysler. She is survived by her mother, Willie Ruth Thomas; children Janita, Julian and Jaynell Gay and Jasyn Young, and her sister.

Members of the Detroit Caucus serving in the Michigan Legislature said they were devastated by the loss, compounded by the loss of state Rep. Isaac Robinson, D-Detroit, who died March 29 from a suspected coronavirus infection. Two other Detroit legislators, state Reps. Tyrone Carter and Karen Whitsett, both tested positive for COVID-19 and are recovering.

"In the face of this unspeakable crisis, Rep. Gay-Dagnogo has set an incredible example of leadership and strength for our entire community, weathering these vast impacts to our lives," said Rep. Tanesha Yancy, D-Harper Woods. "She’s done all of this while serving as a pillar in her own family throughout the past several weeks that her sister was hospitalized prior to her passing."

State Rep. LaTanya Garrett, D-Detroit, said that Gay's death was a loss for the city.

"Ms. Gay was a devoted activist ... who showed a deep love for the community. This is a tragic loss for our district and the entire city of Detroit," she said.

Carter said his battle with coronavirus gave him a glimpse of what Gay-Dagnogo's family was going through.

“After battling with this virus myself, I know firsthand the toll it can take not only on those of us who have tested positive, but our family, friends and loved ones, as well," he said.


On Wednesday, Detroit reported more than 7,100 confirmed cases of coronavirus and 475 deaths..

“We have lost far too many of our Detroit community members to this insidious pandemic, including a fellow legislator and now Rep. Gay-Dagnogo’s sister,” said Rep. Joe Tate, D-Detroit.

Leslie Love Does Not Love Sherry The Sleuth Gay Dagnogo

Leslie Love does not love Sherry "The Sleuth" Gay Dagnogo.

Come to think about it, not many people love her, let alone like her, or probably even voted for her, but that is another tale.

In the spirit of fuchsia...

Detroit legislative caucus to consider 'vote of no confidence' in Rep. Gay-Dagnogo

The Detroit Caucus of the Michigan Legislature will consider a vote of no confidence Monday in its
chairwoman, Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo, D-Detroit.

Rep. Leslie Love, D-Detroit, called for the vote. She alleges that Gay-Dagnogo had misrepresented the caucus, forged their signatures on a resolution, was verbally abusive and attempted to file a false report of harassment against a member.

That sounds about right.

Someone needs to check any forged documents of my Sweetie's signature, too.

The vote of no confidence would inform those working with Gay-Dagnogo that she no longer speaks for Detroit members, Love said.

Will work for Rand$ or a new outfit.

“I just felt I could not be silent anymore,” said Love.

I am quite shocked Love made it this long.

Gay-Dagnogo pushed back on Love’s accusations and claimed they were a “political assassination” as she runs for Detroit mayor.

“She’s never had any confidence in my leadership so I’ve learned to deal with it, but this is just a witch hunt, a disgruntled decision from a colleague,” Gay-Dagnogo said.

One of the heftiest allegations laid against Gay-Dagnogo is that she forged the signatures of some caucus members February in a document that recognized the work of a Detroit musician.

She apologized for the mistake in a letter to the caucus last week and blamed the issue on a former staffer.

Forgery is a crime. I wonder if Sherry the Sleuth reported it. Probably not, because she was the one who more than likely oversaw the forgeries, like Fat Ass used to do.

On Monday, Gay-Dagnogo said it's not unusual for a staff member to contact staff working for other lawmakers to get signatures, but that apparently was not done properly for the Feb. 23 resolution.

“It’s more of an inclusive act of not leaving someone off,” the representative said of including the names of Love and other caucus members. “It’s something that’s been before.”

Gay-Dagnogo rejected claims of verbal assault, a failure to respond to member requests and immature, insensitive behavior. She also claimed to have had regular communication with the Detroit caucus during the historic vote on auto insurance reform last year, but Love said that also was false.

“I don’t make decisions in a vacuum,” Gay-Dagnogo said. “I always reach out to caucus members and get their input.”

Sherry the Sleuth is probably still in a state of morning for the loss of her Fat Ass and sister, causing her to lash out in her official capacity, but, hey, what do I know?  I know Fat Ass and her sister died long after she was stealin' the children, land & vote.

Mikey & Sherry are
no longer in love

Love also accused Gay-Dagnogo of making "back door" deals with former Gov. Rick Snyder's administration after the Michigan State Police director called Colin Kaepernick and his teammates "ingrates who hate America."

Gay-Dagnogo said she worked with Snyder in order to avoid the removal of Col. Kriste Etue, only to have her replaced by someone else of the administration's choosing.

Sherry the Sleuth will work with any foreign entity that will give her money to make her a fashion show selfie superstar.

Gay-Dagnogo repeatedly alleged Love was working for someone, perhaps Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, but Love denied those allegations.

“I’m not running for anything,” Love said. “I’m not working for anyone.”

Pete Karmanos & Michigan Representative Sherry "The Sleuth" Gay-Dagnogo Communicates To Free Kwame Kilpatrick While Soliciting Birthday Money To Run For Mayor Of Detroit

Sherry "The Sleuth" Gay Dagnogo is championing to Free Kwame Kilpatrick.

Great, but what she does not know is that there is much, much more going on than she realizes.

It is just a legal thang.

I 💖MIED.

Commutation for former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Under White House Consideration!  Dear Beverly,  I had the recent pleasure of attending a lecture with Freedom Fighter Angela Davis, at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and was moved to continue fighting for justice, quality education, and criminal justice reform by expanding expungement opportunities for returning citizens.   Her words dealt specifically with the unjust justice system and why we must continue advocating for criminal justice reform. We need not look far for ways to right the wrongs of our current system as Michigan has the Michigan Joint Task Force on Jail and Pretrial Incarceration Report, which highlights the disproportional sentencing of African American citizens. (view full report here).    In my third and final term, I am grateful for the bipartisan commitment to the aforementioned, and believe that it is time that we seize the possibilities of collectively advancing commutation of former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's sentence.  As such, I hope that you will consider joining me by writing a letter to Jared Kushner, Senior White House Advisor to the President,  to express that after 7 years of Kilpatrick's 28 year sentence, as a first time offender, his sentence should be commuted to time served.  This is not a race issue; this is a Justice issue! Sincerely, Sherry Gay-Dagnogo, M.Ed. State Representative, 8th House District Detroit Caucus Chair Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo of Commutation of Former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick! Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo on Former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's Commutation Request to White House! You're Cordially Invited to Attend... Rep. Sherry's 53rd. Birthday Celebration!

Peter Karmanos asks Trump to free Kwame Kilpatrick: It was a 'lynching'

Millionaire businessman Peter Karmanos says he's pushing to free Kwame Kilpatrick from prison, saying the convicted ex-Detroit mayor got a raw deal from the feds, and that President Donald Trump is seriously considering a request to pardon him.

"What you guys witnessed was a modern day lynching, that’s what we saw," Karmanos said of Kilpatrick's conviction on Charlie Le Duff's "No BS News Hour" podcast Sunday.  Karmanos noted it was he who personally delivered Kilpatrick's clemency request to Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, last year.

"I’m going to continue to push. It's not right," said Karmanos, adding that he "absolutely" believes that Trump is seriously considering honoring Kilpatrick's request for clemency.

"I do know that If Trump gave him clemency before the election, where do you think he’d help Trump’s campaign at? You don’t think (Kilpatrick) would go to the black community," Karmanos said, adding he believes Kilpatrick "had done absolutely zero" wrong.

And he scoffed at Kilpatrick's historic public corruption sentence.

"Twenty-eight years, are you kidding me?" said Karmanos, who described Kilpatrick as a "good politician" and "smart businessman," and stressed that he never shook him down, as was alleged by several contractors during Kilpatrick's corruption trial.

"He never asked for a cent ... Everything was on the up and up," said Karmanos, 76, cofounder of Detroit-based Compuware, once the largest computer technology company in the state. He also founded the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, named after his first wife.

According to campaign finance records, Karmanos gave $100,000 to Kwame Kilpatrick’s Generations political action committee in 2005. And, he donated a total of $4,000 to Kilpatrick's mom — former U.S. Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, D-Detroit — when she served in Congress.

In 2009, a year after Kilpatrick resigned from office amid a text message scandal exposed by the Free Press, Karmanos also gave Kilpatrick a job: He hired him as a salesman for Compuware subsidiary Covisint in Dallas, where Kilpatrick moved with his family.

Campaign finance records show, however, that most of Karmanos' donations go to Republican organizations and candidates, including $2,700 to Trump in 2016 and $500,000 to John Kasich’s presidential campaign’s super PAC (New Day for America).

The U.S. Attorney's Office has long argued that Kilpatrick was convicted fair and square, and it has successfully fought all his appeals.

“Mr. Kilpatrick received a fair and just sentence that reflected the seriousness of his crimes and the devastating impact they had on our community,"  U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider said in an email to the Free Press on Monday.

As for Kilpatrick's pardon request, Schneider said:

"Ordinarily, in a pardon or commutation request, the Office of the Pardon Attorney at the Justice Department consults with the U.S. Attorney about the merits of the request. We are willing to provide any assistance to the Pardon Attorney that may be needed to explain our position and justify the appropriateness of the sentence.”

Kilpatrick resigned from office in 2008 after the Free Press published text messages that showed Kilpatrick lied about an affair with his chief of staff and gave misleading testimony about the firing of a police officer during a whistleblower trial.

The Free Press investigation also triggered criminal charges against Kilpatrick, who pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice, served 99 days in jail and was ordered to pay up to $1 million in restitution.

Kilpatrick's federal corruption trial would come five years later and ended with him getting convicted by a jury on 24 of 30 counts, for crimes including racketeering, bribery, extortion and fraud. He was convicted of running a criminal enterprise out of the mayor’s office that included shaking down contractors in pay-to-play schemes and steering work to his contractor friend, Bobby Ferguson, who shared his ill-gotten gains with Kilpatrick.

Kilpatrick has been fighting for his freedom ever since, though all of his appeals have failed.

Sherry "The Sleuth" Gay Dagnogo & The Case Of The Missing Detroit Land Bank Authority House Update

"I, Sherry the Sleutth, shall find those rogue
knaves who demolished my blighted, nonprofit's
property, purchased from the Detroit Land Bank Authority,
It says so right here."

It seems Sherry The Sleuth is hot on the trail of finding out who demolished her blighted, nonprofit's home she got from the Detroit Land Bank Authority.

Debris from mysterious Detroit demolition of state rep's home found 21 miles away.

The debris of a Detroit house owned by state Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo that was mysteriously demolished has been found at a landfill 21 miles away in western Wayne County, the Free Press has learned.

The Woodland Meadows landfill, owned by Waste Management, has informed the Detroit Police Department the debris was disposed at their facility located in Wayne, Michigan, in Van Buren Township.

 The discovery is a major development in a story that made national headlines earlier this week.

"I have received some information that the demolition project was disposed of at our Woodland Meadows site," Waste Management spokeswoman Tanisha Sanders confirmed Friday morning.

"Our site has obviously been cooperating with the local police department so we've shared that information with them already."

 Sanders said Waste Management is not certain of who was actually responsible for the demolition but they do know who hauled the materials to the landfill.

 Sanders declined to share the name of the company. Gay-Dagnogo's home is on the west side of Detroit.

 "It doesn't necessarily mean that the person who hauled it demolished it," Sanders said.

 When reached for comment, Gay-Dagnogo said she is pleased that the Detroit Police Department and the general public have "demonstrated a commitment to finding out who has demolished our home."

 "This has been an enormous learning experience and I am eager to learn who our home was demolished by and why."

 Gay-Dagnogo told the Free Press last week that the demolition of the west-side house near the Brightmoor neighborhood should have never happened and likened it to a modern day whodunit.

 "I have a lot of questions," Gay-Dagnogo said at the time, adding that she didn't live in the home but was in the process of renovating it.

"There's no record at all at the city, from what they can find so far, that has anything about my house being torn down.

They have no idea.

It's a mystery. I'm just taken aback and trying to process this.

How could this happen?"

 The Free Press independently reviewed the city's data portal website and found no record of a planned or completed demolition of Gay-Dagnogo's property, at 14567 Minock St. The Free Press' review also found no demolition permits pulled for the job. Detroit Building Authority Director Tyrone Clifton said in an earlier statement that the demolition "was not ordered, directed or funded by the city." "There also was no permit pulled by any private party for demolition at this address," Clifton said.

"At this time, we are actively investigating to see if we can help determine who was responsible." Gay-Dagnogo addressed the Detroit City Council earlier this week and announced a $1,000 reward for information.

Sherry "The Sleueth" Gay Dagnogo Is Off & Running To Be Detroit Mayor Without County Charges - No Word On Federal Charges

Ex-buddies. Sherry & Mikey

Sherry "The Sleuth" Gay Dagnogo saved the day!

No Wayne County charges, but we have yet to hear from the feds, or Mike Duggan, for that matter.

Here come the fashion show selfies.

No charges in demolition of lawmaker's Detroit house

Detroit — The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office said Friday it will not file a warrant against the owner of a demolition company that mistakenly tore down a state lawmaker's house.

"The suspect readily admits that he 'jumped the gun' and demolished the house without final confirmation that his bid was accepted," the office said in a statement. "Nothing suggests anything other than negligence on the suspect’s part. For these reasons the warrant is being denied."

Authorities said the owner of Detroit-based Gipson Brothers Trucking tore down the house at 14567 Minock St. in July 2019.

State Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo's nonprofit group, Coalition to Integrate Technology and Education, bought the house from the Detroit Land Bank Authority in 2018. The Detroit Democrat said in October she planned to renovate the home and give it to a needy family.

In September, Gay-Dagnogo told the media she was informed by a third party that the house was demolished. Police began an investigation. It was later learned debris from the demolition was taken to a Waste Management landfill in Wayne.

After the home was razed, Gay-Dagnogo became a vocal critic of Detroit's demolition program, urging council members to weigh whether more taxpayer money should be allocated for it.

Last month, Gay-Dagnogo, who represents Michigan's 8th District on the city's northwest side, announced she was exploring a bid for Detroit mayor.

Gay-Dagnogo did not immediately respond Friday to phone and email messages seeking comment.

Tales Of The New Crown: Michigan State Representative Sherry "The Sleuth" Gay Dagnogo & The My Detroit Dr Mystery

Michigan State Representative Sherry "The Sleuth" Gay Dagnogo has a new Cooties super secret medical physician online teleconference referral and cyber testing prescription database.

Yippers.

https://www.mydetroitdr.com/

Many Detroiters lack access to health insurance, transportation, clean water and healthy food, a situation that has made the city the epicenter for COVID 19 in Michigan. Residents that contract the disease often suffer from underlying issues which significantly lower their chances of survival, including obesity, high blood pressure and/or diabetes.

In an effort to Flatten the Curve in Detroit, Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo is unveiling a partnership with Ortele Health that will allow people without the ability to access traditional health care services to see a doctor online. This partnership will eliminate those barriers and give people who need a prescription for testing a way to obtain it.

Who is the keeper of the record?

Better yet, how much will Sherry "The Sleuth" declare on her personal income taxes for Medicaid billing, or will this be TARP 2.0 billing, or is this private funding, or did she settle her claim against the City of Detroit for her other business' Detroit Land Bank Authority property that mysteriously burnt down, and was accidentally demolished by another one of her brilliant business associations?

Perhaps, she just needed to quickly generate funding for her legal defense.

Hey, what do I know?

I know Detroit is ground zero for targeted population lab rat testing, again.

Detroit lawmaker launches COVID-19 remote screening tool for residents

DETROIT - A Detroit lawmaker wants to make it easier for residents to be screened for COVID-19 by bolstering the city's telemedicine infrastructure.

Rep. Sherry Gay-Gagnogo (D-Detroit) announced the partnership with The Coalition to Integrate Technology & Education and Ortele Health as a means to bring accessible health care screenings to residents that lack the opportunity to seek it out on their own.

"Poor and marginalized people are contracting the virus at much higher rates than others," Gay-Dagnogo said. "We cannot leave our most vulnerable citizens with no way to protect themselves from this invisible killer. Higher survival rates are a result of early detection and treatment."

The "Virtual COVID-19 screening Program" will connect low-income residents with physicians that can assess their symptoms, determine the need for testing and produce a digital prescription necessary to receive a test.

Despite making up less than 17% of the state's total population, Detroit and Wayne County COVID-19 total make up almost half of Michigan's total number of cases. This disproportionate outbreak has hurt African Americans and families living in poverty the hardest, with more than a third of Detroit's residents living below the poverty level.

Combined with its proximity to an international airport, increased density of the city and the many underlying conditions suffered by residents have created a perfect storm scenario for Detroit.

"People who suffer from obesity, asthma, diabetes, and high blood pressure are much more likely to die from this disease," said Gay-Dagnogo in a statement. "If we want to flatten the curve in Detroit, we have to make sure that everyone in the city that needs testing or treatment can get it."

The partnership kicks off today. Residents who think they may need testing can log onto mydetroitdr.com or test "Detroit" to 48-48-48 for an evaluation with no cost to the patient.

Sherry The Sleuth & The Case Of Her Nonprofit, Blighted, Demolished Detroit Land Bank Authority House Continues

Oh my!

It seems Sherry the Sleuth must brush up on her sleuthing skills.

Time for some fashion show selfies!

Contractor identified in case of state rep's mysterious house demo

Where Sherry the Sleuth's nonprofit, blighted
Detroit Land Bank Authority house was demolished

DETROIT (FOX 2) - Detroit police say they've identified the contractor behind the mysterious demolition of State Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo's house, and that they're moving forward with a criminal complaint.

Gay-Dagnogo told the media on Sept. 30 that her house in the 14500 block of Minnock had been demolished without her knowing, and that she herself didn't learn about it until about a week later.

"I was like, 'They had to make a mistake, surely they couldn't ... what do you mean it's not there?'" she told us.

Detroit police chief James Craig said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon that they've submitted a warrant for Sherman Gipson of Gipson Brothers Trucking for malicious destruction of property greater than $20,000.


Craig says they learned of Gipson's alleged involvement in the demolition thanks to a prescription bottle that was left of dropped on the property bearing his name, along with surveillance footage from a nearby Green Light station that showed the vehicle.

However, Craig says the investigation would've gone much quicker had Gay-Dagnogo told police a crucial piece of evidence - that she had previously solicited bids for demolition of this property.

He says that knowledge would've led investigators to the perpetrator much sooner, though Craig insists the house was still taken down without permission and that Gay-Dagnogo didn't know about it.

When asked why she didn't reveal her solicitation for bids earlier in the investigation, Gay-Dagnogo told police she simply didn't think it was relevant to the investigation. She said she had reached out to get quotes for either repairing or demoing the home, which she planned to gift to a needy family.

The house demo bids from New Start Construction then trickled down through subcontractors to Gipson Brothers Trucking, who Craig says eventually took down the house without permission.

The why, though, in all of this still isn't clear.

"I can't speculate what was in the contractor's mind when he decided to take it down without permission," Craig said, "but we're clear in that the state representative didn't give the direction and that she didn't know."

Craig said Gipson also didn't pull any permits or consult with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality before the demolition.

Gipson currently is not facing charges and is not in custody, as the police department works to submit the warrant to the prosecutor's office.
