Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was jailed Thursday for a bond violation in his perjury case, his pleas for leniency rejected by a judge who made it clear the mayor would get no special treatment.
Kilpatrick, charged with perjury and other felonies over his testimony in a civil trial, apologized and acknowledged that he made a mistake when he visited Windsor, Ontario, minutes away from Detroit, for city business last month. But District Judge Ronald Giles was not moved, saying he needed to treat the mayor like any other defendant.

Regarding the Mayor, he is disgaceful and should have resigned but lo, he is too stubborn. Perhaps he plans to expense his defense as being work related. The Governor, who has the authority to remove him from office is playing coward. She is hiding out.
So the way things are going now.... it looks like he's going to end up spending ton of money enrichng his lawyers, get convicted anyway, get thrown in prison, lose his law license, humiliate his family... and all this precipitated by his indiscretions with a female staff member.
This guy had so much promise, so much potential, and its all blowing up in his face royally. Very sad to see.

I read that there was no deputy mayor right now because he had accepted another position with the city but that the judge split the Mayor's duties between two other positions.
What a terrible role model this Mayor is. If he truly cared about Detroit he would resign since he really can't effectively govern with all of the dirt around him.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
That mayor was a mess. The more I learned about his story the more dumbstruck I was. He was a young, immature brat who seemed to think he was in a Godfather movie or something. They had a blatant disregard for the law and there is a very good chance that his offenses and abuses include everything up to murder.

If he resigns he'd have less leverage when it comes to a plea deal with prosecutors....
Plus, if he resigns he loses his paycheck, which is now probably all going to his lawyers anyway.
