Nope, nothing fishy about this story. Especially the part about there being $26K in concert tickets stolen.
Yet another Congressional Black Caucus member caught up in a scandal. How many does that make in the last year??
Items Stolen from Government-Registered Cadillac Driven by John Conyers' Son (http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/dpp/news/local/items-stolen-john-conyers-government-registered-cadillac-20101130-mr - broken link)
His wife, Monica, is serving a 37-month federal prison sentence for corruption after pleading guilty last year to a bribery scheme involving her vote on the Detroit City Council in favor of a sludge-hauling contract.
Corruption runs in the Conyers family.
Who votes for these people
So far, the only part of this which might stick to Conyer's himself is that he let his son use his government car. All the other stuff is just window dressing to make a political point.
But, I'll hazard a guess that we'll find out that Conyer's baby boy is an employee of his home office or of his re-election campaign.
Shaykhet says the incident brings into question why the son of a congressman was driving a registered government vehicle.
According to the U.S. General Services Administration Web site , if an employee allows an unauthorized person to use a government vehicle, that employee could be suspended or fired.
Do ya think he'll get suspended or fired for that or will he get the Charlie Rangel special treatment?
Perhaps he works for the concert venue. Regardless, he shouldn't be driving this car.
or this,
"I don't know of a single person in congress in the 16 years I was there who had to put vehicle titles in the name of the government," former U.S. Rep. Joe Knollenberg tells FOX 2.

"baby boy"? His son is 20 years old, which would make him an adult.

"I would tell you that they better use this (vehicle) just for the purpose of what they had been required to do," said Knollenberg. "Not to get into the hands of a relative or a friend or whatever."
America couldn't be so lucky.
