What are Detroit's Political Options in the future?

The idea of the mayor's scandals (not just the recent one) also make companies avoid this city.  Why?  Because nobody wants to put out a press release that involves associating with a person that cheats on their wife.  Another example would be that the CEO of a major company doesn't want his wife to think he is cheating on her or picking up bad habits by associating with the mayor.

Unfortunately this effects many other issues.  From taxes and unemployment, to law enforcement, education and much more.  The Mayor's tactics and choices are inexcusable.  If he was really doing God's work, he would resign.  Unless God is creating the next Sodham in which God intends to fire and brimstone the city of Detroit.  (Of course Devil's night kind of does that already).

Never the less, how do we prevent corruption in the city.  It's already impacting crime in the suburbs.  The closer the suburb to the city the higher the crime rate.  So should the suburbs have a say in the city?  Should the city be divided into burroughs?  Many long term questions, but for sure we need to change the city of Detroit.  Nostalgia is not a good enough reason to keep it the way it is. 

I personally am for a voting consortium or re-annexation of parts of the city by the suburbs to to make the problem smaller.  For example:  Allow the city of Grosse Pointe Park to annex 5-10 blocks.  Allow Harper Woods to annex a few blocks.  Then let each of those start rebuilding from scratch.  Of course, that only makes the problem slightly smaller.  The whole city could never be divided up.  It just wouldn't solve many of the problems.  So is Kym Worthy the next mayor?  Does she want to be?  (I can't imagine anybody truly wanting to be), however we need new leadership.  If she prosecutes Kwame, does that help or hurt her political future.  In the now, I am personally all for prosecution and a recall of Kwame, as well as Kym Worthy running for Mayor in ADDITION to reducing the physical size of the city to allow for rebuilding.
