Goodbye, Detroit by The Michigan Review
James David Dickson writes: It's official. In an election tighter than it should have been, Detroiters chose to give Kwame Kilpatrick a second term as mayor. Defying all logic and willfully ignoring various scandals of the Kilpatrick Administration, including running up personal expenses on the city's charge card, the murder of a stripper who worked one of his infamous mansion parties, and the Navigator incident -- during which Kilpatrick leased, on city money, a Lincoln Navigator for his wife, even as he was laying off City of Detroit employees -- Detroiters elected to give the "thug mayor" another chance.
