Council President hires stepmother.

Council President Pugh hires his step mother to a job at city hall. Charles Pugh revealed Wednesday afternoon that he has hired his stepmother, Sonya Pugh, to a $32,000 a year job as an aide.

"My decision to have Ms. Pugh serve in my office was based on her years of experience in customer service and her compassion for the people of Detroit," said Pugh in a statement.

How will this hire sit with voters of Detroit? “Its friends and family all over again. What do you expect? After all, he did support Kwame Kilpatrick.” said one Detroit voter.

Charles Pugh was raised by his Grandmother after his mother was killed and his father committed suicide. Hiring family is not new to city hall as both Kwame Kilpatrick and Monica Conyers has done this.
