From Mayor to expatriate...


According to his lawyer, Jim Thomas (one of my former adversaries in the hurly-burly world of Detroit criminal law), former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is likely to leave Michigan once he is released from jail.

Needless to say, like many other people he will have a better chance of getting a job someplace other than Michigan. Of course, things are bad everyplace as 70,000 people were laid off today alone.

I was actually visiting with a friend of mine this past weekend who lives in Detroit. He was telling me about Mayor Kilpatrick, and told me that the police are currently trying to build a murder case against him to go along with the string of corruption charges he has already faced and is facing.

When you bemoan the state of affairs in Detroit I don't think you have to look far to figure out who is at least partially responsible.

yeah But I am pretty sure the downward spiral started long before that guy came along...

I have said it before EVERYONE or at least most of the leadership in Detroit is sort of "on the take" and you can only take and take and take from something for so long before there is nothing left. This dude is just the LATEST guy and the most recent one to GET CAUGHT.

maybe he can go to South Africa to visit Coleman Yong's warehouse full of Krugerrands.

Just don't send him to Durham or Tampa.

Tyd - he did pave JEFFERSON to the city limits. But that's because he was ruining the brakes on his Escalade whenever he drove out to the Pointes.
