Mayor Kilpatrick: Resignation or Removal?

Tuesday August 12, 2008

Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's reign seems to be winding down. The real question may be when and how he will finally vacate office. While he may not go voluntarily, several efforts are underway to get him out:

  • The city council's forfeiture hearing starts August 18th.
  • The governor's removal hearing is scheduled for September 3rd.
  • Detroit resident Angelo Brown's recall petition is gaining signatures toward a February recall vote.
  • According to the Detroit Free Press, city business leaders met with Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, attempting to broker a deal that would include Kilpatrick's resignation.

How do you think the saga will finally end?
