Councilwoman accused of forging signatures to help someone else qualify for ballot


'Had not signed the sheets themselves.'

The re-election efforts of a sitting city councilwoman in Michigan may be in jeopardy after she allegedly forged signatures on a petition in hopes of helping someone else qualify for the ballot.

Monique Lamar-Silvia, a 64-year-old pageant organizer and prison minister, is a member of the city council of Saginaw, Michigan, a blue-collar city of some 44,000 residents located about 100 miles northwest of Detroit. She is also among the 11 candidates currently vying this year for five seats on the council with four-year terms.
