Kwame's lawyer as SOC?!!!!-----As Democrats assemble November slate, could Secretary of State nominee raise eyebrows?

Tim Skubick: As Democrats assemble November slate, could Secretary of State nominee raise eyebrows? | MLive.com:
"Democrats do not appear to be concerned that one of their statewide candidates has done legal work for Matty Moroun and the former Mayor of Detroit.
It is not a major issue at this read, but just for the sake of discussion let’s review some of the lawyer-ing done by probable Secretary of State candidate Godfrey Dillard.
He’s a Detroit attorney.
One of his clients is the litigious owner of the Ambassador Bridge and the other was Kwame Kilpatrick.
Will that raise political eyebrows?
One Democratic player wonders if Dillard could take some heat and could the rest of the ticket be forced to defend him?
When the Detroit City Council was making noises about ousting his Honor, or not-so-honorable Mayor Kilpatrick, it was Mr. Dillard representing city government, who argued against that.
As for his legal work on behalf of Mr. Moroun, one would have to ask what does that have to do with Mr. Dillard wanting to beat Ruth Johnson to be SOS?"
