The Pic that is missing was of a crossed eyed baby. I have been having problems uploading it, untll now but I can't fix this as they have selected it for the comunity page.

I don't blame him for it at all. The media is the prime reason we (Detroiters) have spent as much money as we have on this whole "Kwame" issue. I by no means agree with what he has/is doing but I also feel that he isn't doing any more or less than the mayors before or after him. The only difference is his has been brought to light. I personally am tired of hearing about the Mayor and his faults. You hear so much from the media and those not even living in Detroit about the Mayor and it seems that everyone else is just jumping on the bandwagon. What needs to be done is a cleaning house in the Mayor's office, the City Council, and the School Board. Everyone seems to be on the "scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" policy and the citizens of Detroit are the ones loosing out and getting the short end of the stick. There's so much talk about the damage the Mayor and his personal issues has brought to the city well guess what, if it wasn't for the coverage of the Media on even the remedial of things, our issues wouldn't be broadcasted all around the nation!

Apparently we aren't watching the same news cast or people are just hearing what the want to hear. I clearly heard them stick the "ties to the Mayor" out there prior to him warning about sending the letters.

Reese1129 speaking as a Detroiter, THANK YOU MEDIA!!!! everthing that the media is saying about Kwame Kilpatrick is true. If it wasn't true that letter that his attorneys wrote last night, they would had wrote it a long time ago, alleging slander and defamation of character. But he hasn't because he knows what they are saying is true. This is all public information cover by the freedom of information act. This maight be one of the many, many things that he doesn't have his hands in. No one lied on him they said that Jackson is a friend of Kwame's and that he live in the same building as Kwame's father, where is the lie??? The only person proven to be a lier is Kwame Kilpatrick. AGAIN, there are many people who WORK in Detroit,who does not live in Detroit, but they pay tax in Detroit just like you and I, so he is stealing from them too. Their are people who come and spend their money in Detroit on a daily basis, and left because of the crime, political corruption and terrible public school system. That doesn't mean that their heart isn't still in Detroit. Furthermore, Please don't tell me that just because other people are or have done wrong things, so that should excuse Kwame. I don't care if ten million people have done the things that Kwame has done. That simply means that ten million needs to be prosecuted and removed from public office. We must start running this city like a business, and stop allowing Kwame to play emotional mind games with the residents if this city is to ever grow to the level that it once was. This city is so much bigger then just one person, I sa

I'm sorry I meant continuous attempts. I have fought for this city all of my life, and to see the crimes that are being committed by our elected public officials that people have entrusted it breaks my heart. To listen to people like 92.3 Frankie Darcell stand up for the wrongful crimes they these crooks have committed is truly heartrending, I mean to know that so many people stand for wrong. Furthermore, we can't cover it up that's one of the reasons that it has gone to this level. Besides whats done and the dark always come to light. Aagain I thank the free press, detroit news and all of the news stations.

Loveli1,

People dog the city because of all the violence that keeps happening. I would love to see the kids fight to settle their differences, rather than get a gun. I am just sick of seeing the deep wounds that will never heal in the mothers faces. I thought of moving downtown but being in a wheelchair I know I would be a rolling target. That and the fact there are no major food chains in the city for me to roll too.

I would like to thank Springthing for such an eloquent and intelligent response. I don't live in the city but I come down for sporting events. I know that the Mayor of Detroit is a cornerstone to bringing work to all of Metro Detroit, and as such we all need him to be respectable and above reproach.

I'm sorry, I should had said to bring about a genuine positive change.

Hey reese the non detroiter thing is way past getting old. KK and his arrogance and stupid moves since day one have made this an international fiasco and all can comment at will. Also his faults, issues should be correctly stated as his crimes.

Something perceptive that was stated is the fact that we have someone in office right who is smart enough to cover his tracks. If anything that is an understatement. That man is an incredible genius when it comes to the business of complex underhanded dealings. People forget that Kilpatrick has a law degree because he looks like a big grinning oaf. I wouldn't put anything past the legal and mostly illegal dealings he is tangled in. I praise the media for shedding light on his criminal empire. Like anyone from this city I would love to see this dark chapter in Detroit's history put behind us. The only way this is ever going to happen is for someone, like the media, to untangle kilpatricks and possibly our not so esteemed city councils web of deceit and slight of hand tricks. Put it all out there for the citizens of Detroit and the nation to see. Maybe many lessons will be learned about how power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Only then will we be able to turn the page and let Detroit shine again.

Only a fool can't see how corupt Detroit the city council and Mayor is, And I am sick of the people of detroit whineing about there presious Mayor. He soooooooooooooooooo good. What does that tell you about the people of Detroit. Not much , as long as they get there rewfare checks there ok. And the rest of us pay through are as-.
