Detroit City Council Wants Hip-hop Mayor Out




Detroit has a problem and most feel it can only be solved by having the city's Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick resign his office.

Mayor Kilpatrick had the city council vote on a resolution asking him to resign. The vote result was 7 -1 for resignation. But the mayor said OK, now it's over, it has no effect, it's not binding.

I get the idea that the city council doesn't really like Kilpatrick because he is a 38-year-old, earring wearing Mayor. But what bothers them the most is that they have given evidence to the media that the Mayor has been involved in an on going affair with his chief of staff, Christine Beatty. And he still won't resign.

At first Kilpatrick and Beatty denied that they were having an affair. But when confronted with the evidence Kilpatrick went on local TV to apologize and beg for the public's forgiveness.

Kilpatrick feels the council should allow him to get back to the business of running the city.

In my opinion Kilpatric's swagger and street credibility will carry him through. But it is not acceptable to cheat on his wife.

One Love, One Nation, One World.
