If you think Detroit has the market on public-official turmoil cornered, think again. Now-former Clawson Mayor Reese Scripture (City photo) In Clawson, first-term Mayor Reese Scripture resigned abruptly Tuesday, in a dispute over the city's budget work, saying she believes the city manager cut her and the council out of the loop and expected a "rubber stamp" on the unelected manager's work. Scripture said there was little time to properly review a proposed budget, for which she hadn't received a copy. She noted there was no information on the city's year-to-date financial status or other documentation to help inform the council's decision.
