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. He currently owes the city of Detroit $1 million, but claims that he cannot pay his debts. And so, he’s asking for donations on his website (with no mention of how he’ll use any funds raised).
M.L. Elrick, reporter and author of “The Kwame Sutra,” fills us in on what the mayor is up to now.
