Audio: Mayor Fouts allegedly mocks person with disabilities in latest leaked recording

Warren Mayor Jim Fouts mimicked a person with disabilities in a phone call with a telemarketer, according to the source of a newly released audio recording.

“I want trip now,” Fouts allegedly tells the telemarketer, speaking in a stilted voice. “I got letter. It say I get trip now.”

The source of the audio recording said Fouts made the prank phone call during a staff meeting in a conference room at city hall sometime between 2013 and 2015. By mocking a person with disabilities, Fouts was trying to get his staff to laugh, the source said.

“How much are taxes gonna be? I got no money,” says the voice in the recording, purported to be Fouts.

In the phone call, he claimed his wife is a retired janitor and their home is in foreclosure.
