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.

When the local church was listed for sale in the north-west Victorian town of Carapooee, it seemed only a miracle could save it from falling into private hands.
Locals built the Pebble Church, as it is known locally, from nearby quartz stone and it opened for worship in 1870.
The church in Carapooee was acquired by residents last year.

But in 2019 dwindling attendance led to the churchâs deconsecration and closure to the public, sparking a local campaign to buy the much-loved Gothic-style building.
