		<description>THERE&#039;S BLOOD IN THE WATER. WHEN DID HE KNOW AND WHAT DID HE KNOW? I BELIEVE THERE&#039;S ABOUT $16,O000 IN CASH INVOLVED. WHERE DID THEY STASH IT (THE REFRIGERATOR?) AND HOW DID THEY SPEND IT? WOULD THEY DO IT ONLY FOR $16,000 OR WAS THERE MUCH MORE? WHAT DOES THE U.S. ATTORNEY KNOW AND WHEN DID HE LEARN ABOUT IT? DID HE INTEND TO GIVE HIM A FREE RIDE? WILL THE HOUSE ETHICS COMMMITTEE GET INVOLVED? THE ETHICS CASES IN THE HOUSE ARE STARTING TO STACK UP LIKE PLANES READY TO LAND OR CRASH.TERM LIMITS WOULD HAVE SOLVED THIS ONE LONG AGO.</description>

		<description>Just discovered a similar article with related comments Detroit Free Press &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tinyurl.com/lphe5s&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://tinyurl.com/lphe5s&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From the article &quot;Before U.S. Rep. John Conyers was for a waste injection well in Romulus, he stood with fellow Democratic Rep. John Dingell who was against it.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;The Free Press also has learned that Papas was a political supporter of Monica Conyers. He contributed $1,500 in 2005 to her successful run for City Council. He also cohosted a fund-raiser that brought $12,250 to her campaign, records show. Riddle, who spoke exclusively to the Free Press for Monday editions, said the 2007 EPA letter from John Conyers was generated by Monica Conyers after she arranged a $20,000 consulting contract for Riddle with Papas&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;State Rep. Doug Geiss, a Taylor Democrat who represents Romulus and is an ardent opponent of the deep-injection well, demanded Monday that John Conyers clarify his position on the project.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“I’d like the congressman to go on the record,” he said. “I call for him to publicly state it.” &quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Conyers family saga continues.</description>

		<description>I notice that your link to the  Detroit Free Press article is defunct.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I found this article at the Detroit News that says much the same thing. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Synagro bribery case leaks probed&quot; at &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tinyurl.com/nl4rcn&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://tinyurl.com/nl4rcn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From the article &quot;Riddle told The Detroit News in a recent interview that Conyers referred Papas to him and Riddle gave her half of the $20,000 he received. Later, Conyers&#039; husband, U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, signed a supportive letter for Papas&#039; injection well company, Environmental Geo-Technologies, even though his staff had spoken against such wells at public hearings, when another company was backing a similar plan.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;But a state legislator who is an outspoken critic of the injection wells said Monday that it&#039;s time for Conyers to explain why and how his signature ended up on the letter to the Environmental Protection Agency in 2007.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It would seem that there probably is something there that might require an explanation from Rep. John Conyers the 80 year old Democratic Congressman who has been in office for 40 years and Chairs the House Judiciary Committee.  Probably it is harmless but it needs daylight.</description>
