MAYOR KWAME KILPATRICK RESIGN NOW - PLEA DEAL, MICHIGAN GOVERNOR'S REMOVAL HEARINGS

WOW - Thanks to Fox2Detroit for LIVE coverage of Governor Granholm's Removal Hearings of Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. The only Detroit station providing live gavel to gavel coverage - while others use the internet (assuming people have acess).

It will not be a ratings sucess, but it is in the Public Interest to have it on commercial tv versus just the internet, so that anyone interested may view the proceedings and not just those wealthy enough to have a computer.

The Governor is conducting herself and the hearings in a proper manner, that shows no bias..

But the most intriguing question is, and hasn't been asked is Why? with all the high priced attorneys that the Mayor is paying - Why? is he entrusting this important faze to Sharon McPhail? a woman who accused him of hotwiring her council seat - and who is clealy not had the legal experience of the other attorneys.

The Mayor should be removed from office - and he deserves his day in court - his presumption of innocence. He can get a fair trail. But he should not be Mayor while his days counting down to his trials' are counting down.

Deal or No Deal: Did Mayor Kilpatrick lawyers strike a deal? Yes or No - only a few people know for sure. But rumors were flying and the media went into frenzy mode - trying to be the first, and everyone got it wrong, because???

The Mayor has known the truth about his actions - if there is a plea deal it should include Jail Time, so that future elected politicians will understand that resigning their office - is not sufficient to make up for misconduct in office, for lying in court, and betraying the public trust.

Hopefully tonight - the Deal will get done, for Detroit ...
