Charles Pugh resigns from Detroit City Council: 'It has been an honor to work with you,' he writes

Charles Pugh resigns from Detroit City Council: 'It has been an honor to work with you,' he writes | Crain's Detroit Business:
"Pugh, the former council president elected in 2009, submitted a letter of resignation to City Clerk Janice Winfrey today, stating that he has accepted a job elsewhere.
A former television journalist, Pugh has not attended a council meeting since June.
Local media has reported that Pugh has been seen in Seattle and New York City since his disappearance from the state.
On June 27, Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr signed an executive order stripping Pugh of his salary and benefits, as well as his power as city council president.
The council typically has nine members, but has been working with six since Pugh's absence, member Kwame Kenyatta's resignation and president pro tem Gary Brown's acceptance of a position as Orr's chief compliance officer. "
Yeah, the Detroit debacle is the fault of selfish white guys.
