"In the wake of his resignation, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's name will be taken off the water tower at the Detroit Zoo."

"His plea deal: 120 days in jail, $1M restitution ... Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who will lose his job because he lied while under oath at a police whistle-blower trial, has just pledged to tell the truth as he prepares to admit his guilt as part of a plea deal he just struck with the Wayne County Prosecutor."

"Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's tenure as mayor of Detroit is over. He just entered into a plea agreement, according to prosecutor Lisa Lindsey."

"Circuit Court Judge Ronald Giles sent Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to Wayne County Jail for failing to notify the court of his trip to Canada and violating the terms of his bond. Despite Kilpatrick's humble apologies to the court beforehand, Giles said he needed to treat Kilpatrick as an ordinary citizen and sent immediately to jail." The pride and joy of our fair city, ladies and gentlemen.

"He humiliated the city of Detroit — again — in the national media, and on national television."

"The next mayor will inherit a budget deficit between $139 million and $300 million that has required police and fire cuts."

"What happened with the petty case fund reflects the Kilpatrick administration's philosophy: Let's have a party and let the taxpayers of Detroit pay for it"
