The second Detroit mayor in a row is facing questions about
possible perjury.
An attorney for Mayor Ken Cockrel
Jr. acknowledged Monday that his client met last week with state
attorneys to discuss a document stating he didn't owe campaign fines in
two previous city elections.
Cockrel has since paid
$42,000 in fines. Lawyer Michael Hodge says Cockrel believed he didn't
have to pay the fines because he was told they would be
waived.
