Kwame Kilpatrick owes $1 million to Detroit, invites you to help pay
Former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been disgraced by corruption scandals, stripper scandals and using civic funds for personal vacations with his family.

M.L. Elrick, reporter and author of “The Kwame Sutra,” fills us in on what the mayor is up to now.
