Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan gets engaged to doctor
View Comments
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan is engaged to a woman with whom his relationship was publicly questioned after concerns were raised two years ago about whether the city gave preferential treatment to a Wayne State University program she led.
Until now, Duggan had declined to discuss his relationship with Dr. Sonia Hassan. In the past, although the two had been publicly linked, they refused to talk about their personal lives.
Duggan and the city of Detroit s dealings with the university s Make Your Date program, led by Hassan, had been the focus of city and state investigations on claims of potential abuse of authority over whether preferential treatment was given to the effort, which is dedicated to preventing premature births.
