I doubt if Granholm will take her on. MI needs a Sarah Palin at the state and city of detroit level to run these people out. |

BY ZACHARY GORCHOW • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER • September 9, 2008 If incoming Detroit City Council President Monica Conyers wants to persuade residents that she has learned to control her temper as she prepares to lead the council, Monday was a bad start. Conyers, after exiting the elevators on the 13th floor of the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, stormed into council offices ranting at the news media. "You are all evil!" she shouted. "Please leave me alone!" Conyers' outburst happened before a reporter asked her a question. She then asked a City Council sergeant to escort her. And then, after entering the council chambers, she interrupted the Public Health and Safety Committee's discussion about non-motorized transportation in the city to bemoan the presence of reporters near her house. She said a council member's job is "part-time" and doesn't warrant such scrutiny. Conyers makes $81,000 a year. Council members also get a city car -- a Ford Crown Victoria -- to drive. Afterward, Conyers was approached by a reporter wanting to interview her. Conyers responded, "Please," and continued to walk away. Conyers' spokeswoman Denise Johnson said Conyers was upset because reporters were waiting for her outside a courthouse where she was scheduled Monday for jury duty. Monday's outburst is the latest in a long string of incidents involving Conyers. After winning election, but before taking office, Conyers was involved in a bar fight but was exonerated. Earlier this year, she was accused of threatening mayoral appointee DeDan Milton at a pension board meeting, but was not charged. Then she taunted Council President Ken Cockrel Jr. by calling him "Shrek." Most recently, police were called to her hotel room in Denver after she complained about it. Council members recoiled at Conyers' characterization of the job as "part-time." Councilwoman Alberta Tinsley-Talabi said she considers the job not just full-time, but "overtime." Some council members tried to put the best face on the latest Conyers incident. Asked whether she had confidence in Conyers to run the council, Councilwoman Martha Reeves said, "I have confidence in her as being a woman with a lot of heart and a lot of drive and a love for the city of Detroit."

They need to throw a net over her before she kills someone. She's unhinged. |
