Well, Kwame Kilpatrick, Detroits most famous Irshman, is back in the news yet again. It seems that the Democratic governor of the State of Michigan, has the power to remove any elected city official from office even if the official has not been convicted. So, on Sept 3, the governor is going to have a hearing to determine if he should be removed from office.
Unfortunately, Kwame said that he is not going to attend the hearing unless he has been granted a pardon. Well, the governor can not pardon him until he has been convicted of something. And whats more, while the governor can remove him from office, she can not make him attend the hearing.
Now, given the fact that the governor is a Democrat and that the citizens of the city of Detroit love their Democratic mayor, the hearing should be a three ring circus. Besides the media with their camera trucks, I am sure that there will be demonstrators both pro and con.
Of course, the city police are not going to be there unless there is a problem. However, the state police will have there mobile command post near by in case there are issues. It should be interesting.
I wonder if there will be carnival vendors selling elephant ears and foot long hot dogs?
