* M.L. Elrick (Twitter @elrick/Facebook ML ELRICK/Instagram ml_elrick), Shawn Windsor (Twitter @ShawnWindsor), Marc Fellhauer (Twitter @MarcFell) and Matt Jennings (Twitter @MattRJennings) welcome the Motor City Muckraker himself, Steve Neavling of the Metro Times! (Twitter @Muckraker_Steve/Facebook Steve Neavling). Joey Zuver is more of a leaf raker, a skill that will once again be in demand this fall.* THE STRAIGHT DOPE: Steve digs into Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon’s campaign finances and learns that the sheriff has spent a half million bucks on expenses that seem to have almost nothing to do with campaigning. * ML asks that you consider supporting Steve and investigative journalists by doing what ML did and join the Metro Times Press Club. * While you’ve got your wallet out, please consider supporting M.L. and Shawn’s work at the Free Press by using this link to subscribe. It’s only 3 freaking bucks for the first 3 freaking months!!! (And you’ll need a subscription to read their best stuff)* Shawn pipes up for a listener who is very concerned about the way ML pronounces the name of the show’s official beer sponsor. Is it ALL-tess? AL-tess? ML isn’t sure, but is willing to discuss it over a cold ALTES – available at a quality bar or store near you!* ML spent another couple days on the protest beat after Detroit police arrested 44 people when Detroit Will Breathe occupied a section of Woodward Avenue. Listen in and get the straight dope. Read about it here and here.* Shawn isn’t happy, but ML still insists on revisiting those secret FBI recordings of Detroit City Councilman Gabe Leland at a strip club that were the subject of last week’s show and a one episode, true crime podcast ML made for the Detroit Free Press (check it out via the link below). Nevertheless, ML asks Marc to play the end of an interview ML did with Leland. According to Leland, he told ML to: “Get the f*** out of my office.” The sound bite Marc plays suggests the councilman’s memory may be a tad faulty.
