Give the people the truth!----------------Candidates need better vetting

MARY KRAMER: Candidates need better vetting | Crain's Detroit Business:
"Last week, we saw a steady stream of bad-news items about Detroit councilman George Cushingberry Jr. Heck, the guy had barely gotten his president pro tem seat warm in City Hall.

It started with the now-famous traffic stop, but by week's end, reports included a temporary suspension of his law license for a past infraction, accusations by former clients of bad performance as an attorney and a personal bankruptcy filing.

Since most of the bad news actually occurred before the August 2013 primary, the question is: Where were the news media?"
