Show Notes

Wayne County Executive Warren Evans said Saturday that he's considering a run for mayor of Detroit and will make up his mind in a couple months.

Evans, who has been the county executive since 2015, also talked about the new criminal justice complex at I-75 and Warren Avenue that has a 2,280-bed jail, a criminal courthouse and a juvenile facility. He said he expects to get the keys to the facility in about 30 days and then prepare to move inmates in. 

Evans made his remarks during his appearance on the weekly videocast/podcast, "Detroit in Black and White," with co-hosts Adolph Mongo, Vanessa Moss and Allan Lengel. 

The hosts also talk with Republican consultant and strategist Jason Roe, who discusses Kristina Karamo's controversial reign over the Michigan GOP.
