What do you think of city council's actions against Mayor Kilpatrick?

It is lamentable that it has come to this! Though I am not a resident, it is where I was born and raised so I belieive I should have a say contrary to the Mayor's belief. I am glad that the Council has taken steps to remove this piece of business from the shoe of the City.

I can hope that the Citizens will learn from this lesson and elect a mayor that is looking out for the City's future and not become jaded with wanting to "regulate". I will always consider myself a Detroiter, NO MATTER WHERE I LIVE!

IF THE MAYOR IS SO INNO0CENT WHY DOES HE HAVE 8 ATTORNEYS?

I THINK THE COUNCIL AND GOV. GRAHOLM SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM OUT OF OFFICE WHEN THE INFORMATION FIRST CAME OUT.

WHY LEAVE HIM IN TO HIRE MORE RELATIVES, OR TO SPEND MORE OF DETROIT'S MONEY ON HIS FRIENDS AND TOYS OR PAY FOR HIS ATTORNEYS WITH DETROIT MONEY.

I THINK HE IS AS GUILTY AS SIN.   DETROIT USED TO BE A DECENT PLACE TO

LIVE  WE MOVED 4 YEARS AGO .

I think the council is doing the right thing. It is their business. Their city.

If it was anyone else it wouldn't even have gotten this far.The mayor is not above the law like he thinks. I couldn't even sit on a trial if I knew the prosecutors personally. Why should thing change for the mayor. All those judges should be disqualitified..

I think that it is a political move in order to give the city council more power by the time this move goes through the mayor won't be in office anyway just another way to waste tax payer money- They should oust the bunch of them, they all should resign and let Robbie Timmons, Carolyn Clifford, Eric Smith and the gang run the city!

I live in Detroit and i voted for the mayor and love see him stay in office until his time in over because the mayor have done a lots for city of Detroit and let judge do their job he is instance until proved gulity the city council do theirs jobs and let court do their job with the mayor the city council or old and just hated on the mayor instead of doing their jobs it to many of them to powder hunger they do not care about this city they are most is old timer and just do not like the mayor because he is young and smart yes he have made some mistake he not first mayor and want be last one mayor but he have did more for this city since mayor young so please stop wasting taxes payer money and let the court do their job and the mayor do his job until his terms is over.Your are hurting his family this mayor have kids and wife that already have a lots on their plate so why add more.Ms.P McGee

Still a whole lot of stammering.  All three options should have been unanimous against Kwame.  Inmature people like Conyers should not be in positions of authority in the first place.  She's one of Kwame's team, and apparently has at least three other Kwame cohorts in the group.  Kwame is now the wrong person for the job, and it's obvious that his indiscretions and subsequent lies are only the tip of the iceberg.  Now the ignorance of many others is becoming readily apparent - most everyone that has gone public with their support of Kwame.  I don't mean just the ones who are open Kwame supporters.  I include the closet Kwame supporters that get on the airwaves and don't let anyone present the facts about the Kwame situation.  They are argumentative and loud, and do their best to filibuster during any discussion.  Ignore the facts and deny, deny, deny.  This is the Kwame defense.  I'm sure the courtroom will be filled with much of the same.

I say its about time! The money that the council will need to oust the mayor is nothing compared to what the mayor has spent using tax payers dollars and what he would continue to spend if left as mayor of the city of Detroit.

I"m for the mayor and those old city council member should be the one to remove because they or POWER hunger they do not care any thing about the city it just a job to have power over Detroit they are the one should be move special MS.Walston and Cockrel Jr and his mother or ever she is to MS.Cockrel,yes it some good on the city council the care about our city like MRS.Conyer and MRS.Reeve and a couple more but those old head that is POWDER HUNGER need to be the one to be vote out they been their all these years and haven't did any thing for out city but mess up and try blane all on my mayor,Kennth Cockrel just want mayor job he just jealous of the mayor because he are young an smarter than him because if he run he know no one will vote him in the only way he be mayor is take the mayor left over that very sad of him to get be the mayor of Detroit is to remove the smart young mind good mayor,if he be the acting mayor than he going mess up more than mayor did as i said  they need to move all those old heads that been their all the years and only keep the new comer like MS.Reeve and MRS.Conyer and few more of the new one.Than this city will be much better today and leave my mayor Kilpatrick alone and let do his good work he have done for this city.I love you Mr.Mayor Kilpatrick and i'm praying for you and good luck .Your voter MS.PMCGEE

The mayor needs to step down and stop acting like he didn't do anything. He says he is about

the citys business. Was he about the citys business when he had his love affair with Christine?

I think he is a stink in the citys nostril, how many more crooked deals will the rest of Detroit

put up with. I am very sad for Mrs. Kilpatrick and his children. Thank you WXYZ for trying

to help Detroit.

Kwame needs to go.  We cannot afford the party anymore.  We have not begun to discover the financial, political, and legal problems he has imposed on  this city with his lack of integrity.  The city council, were brave, and made an historical decision to save this city.  They should be commended their stance for justice, and not being influenced with individuals that are out for themselves.

When you take a professional job, you are responsible to the people that pay your salary, in this case, the citizens of Detroit.  How many street lights could be working with $8.4 million dollars? How about $8.4 million to educate our children so we all can have a future?  How about spending the time on our kids like we are spending on Kwame's booty call?  Kwame, what about working instead of sending 625,000 text messages, did we pay you to do that?  I would get fired if I sat at worked and sent 20,000 text messages to my booty call!

See, the problem here is money and power.  Money and power is dangerous without character, integrity, and a purpose for your community.

I agree and support the members of The Detroit City council decision to remove Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick from office.  He does not have the best interest of the city or its residents.  He is ineffective as a mayor.  Govoner Granholm will not step in to have him remove either she fears political ramifications for herself.  The mayor should have to pay back the city out of his salary as a form of retribution for malfeasance of city tax dollars to hide his affair and ruin two good poliece officers careers because of his own selfish behavior.  He is not any positive role model to even his own children.  If Christine Beatty is a smart woman she cop a plea bargain send his sorry butt to jail where he belongs.

Thank God, You need to get this Mayor OUT...........ASAP

This is crazy, why the voters of detroit do not oust the mayor they voted for him.

MY NAME IS BONNIE I HAVE LIVE HERE MOST MY LIFE AND THIS CITY COUNCIL SPENDING MORE TIME AND MONEY ON THIS MESS AND THE CITY IS NOT MOVING FORWARD AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAKE ME THINK HE WANT THE JOB CAN IS FILL THAT JOB I THINK NOT. WE NEED A NEW CITY COUNCIL ALSO SOME OF THESE COUNCIL MEMBERS DO NOT THINK FOR THEMSELF ALLOW OTHER TO THINK FOR THEM. THE COUNCIL NEED TO SPEND THEIR TIME RUNNNING THE CITY AND ALLOW THE COURT TO TAKE CARE OF THE MAYOR IF GULITY THEN WHATEVER HAPPEN WILL BE. ALLOW THE  SYSTEM TO WORK AND THE CITY COUNCIL TO MOVE FROM THE MAYOR SIT. THAT IS HOW I FEEL I'M SICK OF HEARING ABOUT THE MAYOR AND THE COUNCILMEMBER.

MOVE ON TO OTHER BUSINESS HERE IN THE CITY MAYOR STAY IN THE OFFICE TILL YOUR TERM IS UP.FROM A DETROIT GRANDMOTHER
