A non-profit program that helps needy pregnant women is being examined by the city of Detroit Inspector General. The Make Your Date program is part of the Wayne State school of medicine, and is headed by a doctor linked to Mayor Duggan.
The Free Press reports that 358-thousand dollars in city grants were steered to the program by the Detroit office of Development and Grants.
The city says no city funds were involved, and that the mayor welcomes the investigation.
The relationship between the doctor and Mayor Duggan is at the center of objections by businessman Robert Carmack, and by union agitator Robert Davis.
