Well, Wednesday, September 03, 2008 is the day of wreckoning (reckoning) for Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. He has tried several legal manuevers to avoid going before Govenor Jennifer Granholm, in the hearing, to decide whether he should be removed as mayor of Detroit; due to the request of the Detroit City council. It was claimed that the Govenor didn’t have the power to remove him as the laws were ambiguous.
On Tuesday, September 02, a circuit judge for Wayne County declared that Govenor Granholm could indeed be impartial in the hearing. Mr. Kilpatrick had tried to say that she was was not able to remain impartial in a removal hearing. The court of appeals have also now rejected a request to stop the Govenor from holding the removal hearing on Wednesday.
It could be a while before we hear the outcome of the hearing…however, the people of Michigan will see some sort of resolution soon.
