Duggans Gonna Duggan.
As usual, Duggans are gonna Duggan...
As of July 2020, Mayor Duggan's son Ed Duggan (who was hired on a nepotistical, quid-pro-quo basis by the Whitmer administration, cementing Governor Whitmer's subservience to the Duggan machine) recently scored a sweetheart position as the Biden campaign’s Michigan political director (despite having no real qualifications other than being Mayor Duggan's son), already got caught feeding state contracts to his political buddies. Apple don't fall far from the tree, does it? Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is investigating.
This story is a perfect example of how monied political dynasties stay in control of American politics, and why they never seem to respond to the needs of the regular people; it's the "old boys club." This acceptance of Prince Ed made the Biden campaign look, in my opinion, like more "business as usual" Democrat politics rather than the progressive change everyone was hoping for.

But maybe you should also know that Mike Duggan endorsed Dana Nessel's run for office, and used to be her boss when they were both in the Wayne County Prosecutor's office, so it would be politically dangerous for her to find any wrongdoing.
