LocalBlogger's view of the issues

To add to the discussion.

Like many others, I watched the apology last night.

Understanding the pending investigation(s) did not allow Kwame to mention the specific details, I think too much attention was spent on how much he and his family is hurting.

Do most people out there understand this is not about Kwame cheating on his wife and family?

This is about the continued mis-use of city finances. This is about the allegations that it appears he lied under oath while spending city money on a trial that should have never even taken place?

Also, I have a hard time feeling bad for Carlita Kilpatrick. She has been on the receiving end of mis-spent city dollars. Police escorts on shopping ventures. Police officers driving her around town to do whatever it is she does during her day.  There was the Lincoln Navigator lease issue that was uncovered not that long ago, the list goes on.  She is as big a part of the problem as Kwame in my opinion.

I do feel bad for the children here. I do agree the media should stop the home surveillance immediately, I never thought that was a good idea from the start, regarding Kwame or anyone else in the public eye for that matter.

Until the people of the city of Detroit can see past this as a 'media against Kwame' issue, they will continue to re-elect him into office.

Maybe it is time to implement term limits for the role of Mayor.
