Update 10:17 a.m. - Mike Duggan released a statement this morning about forming an exploratory committee for a mayoral run.

Michigan law requires a committee be established in order to receive or spend money, even at the exploratory stage.
'Over the next 90 days, the Committee --Mike Duggan for Mayor Exploratory Committee-- will meet with citizens, block clubs, neighborhood organizations and community leaders to assess Mike's support in the city,' Mallett said. 'We'll also have a broad presence on the Web to give anyone and everyone a chance to weigh-in on what Mike and this team should do, including what problems, issues and solutions the average citizen wants addressed.'"
