Everything out of Detroit these days revolves around the multiple efforts to get Kilpatrick out of office; but what happens then? With the problems plaguing our mayor, who will act for him if he is unable due to court proceedings or a night in jail? More importantly, what happens if he resigns or one of the efforts to get rid of him actually works?
