Follow the money.
There are the text messages from Marvin Walker to Mary Sheffield.
“I have a 2K check as well. I’ll give you that. And you give me 2K back.”
Sheffield has pushed back, saying no city funds were ever paid to Walker and that his payment from the nonprofit was for legitimate community-event work.
But Detroit has seen this movie before.
Charlie digs into Detroit Donates, its political connections, the money flowing through the charity, Walker’s allegations — and the uncomfortable questions raised by a $2,000 check and a request for $2,000 cash in return.
Was it legitimate nonprofit business? A personal arrangement? Or something investigators may want to take a much closer look at?
The checks are out there.
The texts are out there.
Now somebody has to explain them.
