Either channel 7 or 4 are supposed to talk about this at 11:00pm. A building was purchased for a new Detroit Police Department crime lab three years, now City Council just remembered and noticed that the building its still empty. Kwame told the crime lab employees the money was spent for something else last year. http://www.detnews.com/apps/pb cs.dll/article?AID=/20081030/M ETRO/810300389/1409/METRO |

I used to work in that neighborhood... I went on street view, and as I remembered it, it's not a bad building at all for it's purposes. There's going to be a lot of money found under the cushions. Also, if it's a voted bond, you have to spend it on what the bond was for. Of course, he didn't do that. More "surprises" from this no-good-money-stealin'-sellout the citizens ass. |

You guys are worried about a measly $20 million dollars? That's probably less than the average hourly take of the Bush administration over the last 8 years. Kwame's a chump in comparison. Not that we should condone it at any level. It's just that the thievery is way past tens, and even hundreds of millions of dollars. Kwame will live like the true potentate he desires and deserves to be, when he walks out of his special (reserved for politicians only) jail cell. |

How can you call 20 million dollars measly when referring to a cash-strapped city? Corruption on any level is horrid. However, corruption on a local level will have far greater ramifications on the populace than corruption on a federal level. It is all bad. But you can't just say to heck with 20 million dollars of tax payers' money. |

A lot of appointees and general City employees in the Kilpatrick Administration were already there when he was elected, and were powerless in any decisions and either rolled with it or quit. I remember talking to Sean Werdlow's Executive Assistant. Werdlow was the former finance director. The assistant retired after 30 years and said this was the worst administration ever and she couldn't wait to leave. Sean Werdlow also was continuously frustrated at what he saw, and left the City for other employment in either 2006 or 2007. My thinking is that once Kwame gets out of Wayne County Jail, that he will be going back to jail for some other charges. The discrepancies and corruption are deep, and will take a long time to come to light, but I'm glad that there is a Federal Grand Jury Probe into KK's Civic Funds. |
