It Is A Sad Day!

It's a sad day in Detroit! The mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has plead guilty to and resigned his position. With all the publicity surrounding his tenure and his extra-marital affair and text message saga, this was expected. I say that this is a sad day because, despite his faults he was an effective Mayor! The city has taken leaps and bounds while he was in office. I also say this is a sad day because the city is in serious trouble with the interim Mayor. The president of the city council will be acting mayor. His name is Ken Cochrel Jr.! You may know him as Shrek! That was the name given to him by another council member during an argument. He is not an effective leader! He couldn't control the city council and he won't be able to control the city. All of the wonderful things that have been going on in Detroit will cease! No matter how you felt about Kwame Kilpatrick, he lead the city! He brought the Superbowl and large conferences back to the city! He made sure the streets were cleared of snow so that the school kids could make it to school! He brought businesses back to the downtown area and beautified the area! He brought the hotels back and the rebuilding of Detroit to fruition! He brought the beautiful sports facilities back! Mr. Cochrel Jr. and many of his council members are being investigated by the FBI, as we speak! His right-hand man was fired and is under investigation in the Synagro scandal! A scandal that he had no vote in! He couldn't vote for or against the Synagro deal, only his boss Mr. Cochrel could! Therefore, he should be watched, also! I only have this to say to the anti-Kwame Kilpatrick people of Detroit: "Be careful what you wish for, because you will now have an ineffective Mayor and thus an ineffective city!"
