the city is facing a 230 million dollar deficit and laying off 700 employees which is necessary but at the same time Kilpatrick leased a brand new Lincoln navigator SUV for his wife at the city's expense which he at first denied.  Also he charged $210,000 on city credit cards.

Whoa! I did not know that. Could he be the reason Detroit has hit hard financial times? Tongue

Detroit has hard financial times due to years amd years of mismanagement and not cutting government services as the city lost population.  Census 2000 numbers show 951,000 people in 2000
right now projections show 890,000 people, the city of Detroit is running as if it still had 2 million people.  There are very high taxes in the city both property and income.

Yikes! Well big-city life is somewhat a mystery to me. Tongue No wonder people are moving away in droves.

So, is Kilpatrick's defeat a sure-thing? Have the people of Detroit had enough of his economic policies and such?
