DETROIT: Attorney says he will run for prosecutor Detroit attorney Maurice Morton announced Sunday that he plans to run for Wayne County prosecutor. A former assistant prosecutor who worked under Mike Duggan when Duggan was county prosecutor, Morton most recently was the associate general counsel and director of community affairs for the Detroit Medical Center. The slate already is getting crowded for the August Democratic primary. Prosecutor Kym Worthy is expected to seek re-election and defense attorney and ex-assistant prosecutor Portia Roberson has announced her intention to run. TOLEDO: Mayor stops Michigan Marine training Mayor Carty Finkbeiner stands by his decision to stop a Michigan-based Marine battalion from holding an urban warfare training session downtown, a spokesman for the mayor said. About 200 Marine reservists had prepared to conduct the exercise at a vacant building Friday when city officials put a stop to it. Residents had complained about previous exercises, Finkbeiner spokesman Brian Schwartz said Saturday. "The mayor asked them to leave because they frighten people," Schwartz said. Members of Company A, 1st Battalion, 24th Marines, based in Grand Rapids, trained in Toledo in 2006 before deploying to Iraq. Schwartz said the mayor informed then-Police Chief Jack Smith that he didn't want the Marines back. Finkbeiner was unaware they planned to return until Friday, Schwartz said. Finkbeiner said he spoke with Marine Corps officials Sunday. "I conveyed my sincerest regret for the failure to communicate within the administration and any inconvenience that caused," Finkbeiner said in a statement.
