Detroit Strip Clubs: Radio ad slams Cox campaign

An independent political group is airing sharp radio attack ads against Michigan Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Mike Cox, suggesting that the Republican helped halt a 2002 investigation into an incident at the Detroit mayor’s mansion.
The ad features the voice of former Detroit police officer Sandy Cardenas, who says she sent officers to the state-owned Manoogian Mansion in 2002. Cox has called allegations that then-Mayor Kwame Kilpwatrick, who has since been indicted and removed from office, held a party at the mansion with strippers an “urban legend.”
“I dispatched the police cars that night and I know for a fact several cars showed up at the scene,” Cardenas says in the ad. “But by the next morning, tapes of the calls had disappeared. And Attorney General Mike Cox? He stopped his investigation after only 30 days.”

Garron Strohmeyer, senior investigator at LSS Consulting, confirmed his company provided the 800 number for the ads. He said LSS owner Ned Timmons made the arrangements, and Strohmeyer did not know with whom those arrangements were made. Timmons was in the Cayman Islands today and not available for comment.
Cox investigated the rumored stripper party in 2003, including personally interviewing then-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, and declared the party thought to be held at the mayoral residence “an urban legend.” He has given sworn testimony in a federal lawsuit brought by the family of Greene, an exotic dancer who has been rumored to have danced at the party.
