Most definitely good!

Kwame has been dragging this city down for quite a while. After we got rid of Coleman Young we had Dennis Archer. Archer did moer for this city than anyone can imagine, only to be bad mouthed because he wanted to do it without the help of the suburbs. This is in stark contrast to Young who wanted the city to ride on the 'burbs coattails.

Everyone knows that things politically take a long time to happen. Archer brought the great sports events here, (superbowl, ryder cup, etc.). Kilpatrick took credit for it because it happened on his watch.

Bottom line, Kilpatrick is a wannabe thug, as evidenced by his entourage, and lifestyle. He is a very personable person, just not very effectual.

Finally Detroit can move on past this dark era in our history and work on improving our city's image, economy, and resources.

Couldn't have been said better. We feel the same way in Canton, MI.

Good news for the moment, don't hold your breath, some other problem(s) will take the place of Kilpatrick. Detroit seems to be screwed.
