Attorney general creates Public Integrity Unit
LANSING (AP) -- Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette has created a Public Integrity Unit aimed at stepping up the fight against corruption in state and local government.
Schuette says in a statement last Thursday that corruption scandals have "damaged the public's trust in government" and left Michigan with a questionable national reputation. He says there will be "no more Kwames," a reference to disgraced former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
Schuette says the unit is being created with existing office resources.
During last year's campaign, he had said fighting public corruption was important.
