Conyers' wife Monica is the former president pro tempore of the Detroit City Council; she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery and received a three year prison sentence. But now she's appealing her guilty plea.
Here's some more troubling information, courtesy of the Detroit News, about Conyers:
But Conyers' obstinate refusal to answer questions about whether he benefited financially from his wife's corruption ought to embolden someone to challenge his re-election. It also ought to awaken the House Ethics Committee, considering that Conyers signed a financial disclosure statement declaring neither he nor his wife accepted a gift worth more than $335. The private school tuition paid for Conyers' son by a city contractor surely was worth more than that.And did the Conyers' file joint income tax returns?
Conyers' appeal is being funded by taxpayers, a federal court declared her indigent. John makes $170,00 a year as a member of Congress, he has been serving since 1965.
