Michigan City Mayor Asked to Resign Over Alleged Racial Comments
Posted today at 10:08am by Stan Maddux

(Michigan City, IN) - The Mayor of Michigan City will be asked to resign during a protest this afternoon over a statement that many in the African American ministerial community find offensive. The protest, largely organized by members of the ministerial community, is scheduled to begin at 3 P.M. outside the Michigan City City Hall.



Pastor Dave Lane said the Mayor called him back over a matter of concern recently and left him a voicemail. Lane said the “hot mic” statement was made after the Mayor thought he had hung up the phone, and the comments were recorded on the voicemail.



“They want a f____ing audience. You know, these black guys. They all want a f___ing audience,” Mayor Duane Parry said on the recording.



“The Mayor made a statement that is so disturbing; I don’t want to repeat it. It’s not something that should be coming from the Chief Executive of our city.”
