Judge Tosses Lawsuit Against Detroit’s Mayor
July 21st, 2008A lawyer had sued Kwame Kilpatrick on behalf of residents and city workers.
The attorneys for Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick convinced a Wayne County judge Friday that the Motor City’s major-league money woes cannot be directly tied to an $8.4 million settlement in the city’s high-profile whistle-blower case last year. Corbett Edge O’Meara, a Detroit lawyer had argued that residents and city employees were out millions because of the settlement, which included a secret side deal to keep quiet about sordid sex-text messages volleyed between Kilpatrick and his longtime chief of staff, Christine Beatty. Kilpatrick is now facing perjury charges after denying that he had an extramarital affair with Beatty. In his lawsuit, O’Meara argues that Kilpatrick and his lover lied to the City Council and residents by keeping the reason for the settlement under wraps, The Detroit News reports. Although O’Meara lost the first round, according to the News, the judge has agreed to grant him another hearing on Aug. 8, to consider more evidence of alleged harm caused his 35 clients. “We are still going to fight this,” O’Meara said. “We want to hold these government officials accountable for their actions.” Kilpatrick’s attorneys, Tony Rusciano and James Thomas, think O’Meara’s lawsuit is absurd. “Taxes haven’t gone up one penny as a result of this,” Thomas said in court Friday. O’Meara wants Kilpatrick’s personal account and the assets of his $180,000 legal defense frozen, on behalf of Detroit taxpayers, the News reports.

Jack ass Lawyer want a name for him self , he must not be doing well in his cases .
Well I guess that will show him.
As a former supporter of the mayor,, I am extremely disappointed in his behavior. I agree that officials should be held accountable. Even if the citizens of detroit have not yet adversely been affected tax wise, the shame and dishonor brought to the office, truly is a diservice to residents.
Next they need to toss that fool out of office. He’s a disgrace to the black community and to Detroit.

To everyone out there i have lived in Detroit all of my life, and i am so tired of the mayor, and most of the City Counical Members, and almost all the Elected officals who suppose to repersent the People of Detroit. You had better no that Detroit is in troboule, The real prolbem is that most citizens of Detroit vote for people based on NAME, and NAME only. We still do not have any real Black Economics, no elected officals are trying to get Black folks anything endless they are family or frineds. Iam asking all people in the City Detroit who really care to think about the condations that we are faceing and come together so that we can make a real differance in our City. I am LOVING DETROIT NOT LEAVING, DETROIT, lets make Detroit what it needs to be and what it should be our city, the best city, we can make it. Lets stop waiting for the elected officals and start doing it our self, we can. We dont need another 45 years like the past 45 years,its time for a new direction. Jeff Lewis your Borther.
