Detroit mayor Kwame Killpatrick was jailed today for going against probation.
The whole thing started with some explicit text messages that were sent by Kilpatrick to a nother worker on a cell phone paid for by the city. People dug into him, and the found nothing but corruption and greed. He was using taxpayer money to buy expensive cars and jet rides to vacation spots. When he was tried in court he told the judge that he had city business, but the good judge and jury saw through that, and they charged him with a probation that he had to tell the court where he was going if he was leaving Detroit. Just a couple days ago, he went to Windsor without telling the court, and now he's in jail. Go here for more info.
Question 1. Do you think that he stillll deserves to be mayor when he is released?
Question 2. Do you think that we can allow this kind of corruption to go unchecked in the government? Also, write down what you think overall about this man.
