Martha Reeves, the ex-lead singer of Motown legends Martha and the Vandellas somehow won a seat on Detroit City Council.
A friend of mine works with her, and she is a complete trip.
A local reporter '
tries' to harass her about her misuse of city property to enable her gambling habit (at least $1000/month), among other things. Her responses are comedy gold and IMO, refreshing, especially when considered within the context of political deceit (& conceit) in general.
