Critics Press Kilpatrick for Tapping War Chest
April 10th, 2009
Did dethroned Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick violate local laws by tapping $1 million from his political war chest to pay for his mountainous legal bills? That’s the question being pressed by one of the ex-mayor’s leading critics, retired Wayne State University law Professor Maurice Kelman. Kelman has blasted Kilpatrick firstly for missing his filing deadline by two months, and secondly for using the money to defend himself in the infamous sex text-messaging scandal with his then-chief of staff, Christine Beatty. Ultimately, the two married city officials were sentenced to 120 days in jail for lying in court to hide their affair. James Thomas, Kilpatrick’s lead attorney, defended tapping the campaign account. A spokeswoman for Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy declined comment on the legality of tapping the fund but said prosecutors will look at the $215,000 that Kilpatrick said he had left in the fund at the end of 2008. “We’re interested in any money that can go toward the mayor’s restitution,” she said. The former mayor owes the City of Detroit more than $900,000 in restitution as part of the deal he reached last year when he pleaded guilty to two counts of obstruction of justice stemming from the text message scandal.
All I know that this uneducated black man messed up a great city.

Pay up you fat, sexually addicted lying Bastard, you should be ashamed but you are so narcissistic that you have no shame. The citizens of Detroit are suffering while this fat cat is living in a luxurious home hiding in Grand Prairie Texas with his stupid wife. Grand Prairie you better hide your women cause Kwame is in town and he will strike again!!!
david you are confusing kwame with your own mother.
Kwame is definitely not an uneducated man I attended florida a & m university with him. He just made a lot of bad choices as we all are guilty of and may still be doing. I pray reality of his actions truly hits his heart. Learn to make the money- not the money make you!
mighty whitey is a mongoloid. His parents were brother and sister. stop having with your sister and find a girl. just say no to incest
No one said he was uneducated when I said stupid. I as talking about his wife referring to her decision to stay with the jerk. Being educated has nothing to do with flawed Character.
