Former Corrupt Detroit Councilwoman and Convicted felon Monica Conyers is going for one more shot to feed at the public trough and running for Wayne County Executive.
One problem though, as a convicted corrupt public official she can't hold the office even if she won.
The Detroit Free Press: Monica Conyers to run for Wayne County executive, despite being banned from office
Former Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers submitted a bid for the county's top office, despite a state law preventing her from holding public office.
The former councilwoman pleaded guilty in 2009 to using her position on council and a city pension fund board to solicit bribes from businessmen seeking city contracts or pension deals. She spent three years in federal prison. State law bans officeholders convicted of a felony involving deceit and fraud from holding office for 20 years.
The law does not explicitly state they can't run though, even if they can't hold office so she's running.
So, since she's barred form holding the office, why is she running? What is the one mo' con that she is trying to pull here?
Is she trying to divert votes from another candidate or get paid off? One doth wonder.

She will rake in the 'donation' money, launder it to family, and walk away.
One last payday from the gullible.
