Kilpatrick’s cousin misused charitable funds, suit says

By Tresa Baldas
Free Press staff writer

Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox has filed a civil lawsuit against a cousin of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, alleging she used thousands of dollars of charitable money to cover personal expenses, including jewelry, a restaurant tab at the Roostertail, a veterinary bill and bridal expenses.

According to the lawsuit, filed Aug. 11 in Ingham County Circuit Court, Nneka Cheeks, while employed by the then-mayor, diverted $25,000 from the Manoogian Mansion Restoration Society’s (MMRS) bank account for her own personal use. The charitable fund, which Cheeks had access to, was supposed to be used to help preserve and restore the Manoogion Mansion.

Kwame Mommy losing election according to polls

Poor Kwame mommy. First you get stuck with a human trainwreck for a son, now you have to deal with losing your job, most likely because of public perception of your family due to all of the crooks in it.

It should be stated that to the best of our knowledge, Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick has never been involved with the family’s shady dealings. In fact, she is divorced from Bernard Kilpatrick (Kwame Daddy), one of those involved with the Kilpatrick Civic Fund scam.

U.S. Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick losing party nomination to Hansen Clarke

Early poll results show U.S. Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick is succumbing to challenger Hansen Clarke in a race to oversee Michigan’s 13th district, potentially putting the congresswoman in the backseat of politics this term.

With 34 percent of precincts reporting, Clarke of Detroit had 48 percent of vote, to 37 percent for Cheeks Kilpatrick. The winner faces businessman John Hauler of Grosse Pointe Woods, who ran unopposed in the GOP primary.

The embattled seven-term congresswoman began losing ground with constituents in recent polls conducted after legal troubles concerning her son, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, increased.

Cheeks Kilpatrick has often been praised for her role on the House’s Appropriations Committee. As the only current Michiganian on the committee, she has been cited numerous times for allocating necessary funds to the Detroit area, particularly with the recently announced Woodward Light Rail project.

Her challenger, Clarke, said he would not mention Cheeks Kilpatrick’s son in any campaign material, but the former mayor’s troubles may have clouded her image.

Cheeks Kilpatrick’s political career began as a state representative in 1979, where she served until 1996. From 1997 to 2003, she served in the House representing the state’s 15th congressional district, before redistricting moved her to the 13th district.

Only until 2008, when Cheeks Kilpatrick was riding on six consecutive re-elections, did she begin to face strong challenges from opponents. After the text-message scandal that brought down her son, Cheeks Kilpatrick only narrowly kept her seat from challengers Mary Waters and Martha Scott.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Lawyer wants Kwame deposed in Tamara Greene lawsuit from prison cell

Norman Yatooma, attorney for Tamara “Strawberry” Greene’s family, wants K Squared be deposed in prison for the lawsuit brought against him by the family of the slain stripper. I say, BRING THAT $&!T ON. All of these charges against him for corruption aren’t going to mean a thing when he is convicted in the Tamara Greene case. Justice needs to be served. It’s coming, thanks to Kym Worthy.
