The sources said agents are trying to determine whether Bernard Kilpatrick illegally passed along any money to the mayor. The sources agreed to discuss the investigation only if they were not identified.
'It's a pure pay-to-play system,' one lawyer alleged of the process to obtain many contracts in Detroit.
