Michigan governor to decide fate of Detroit mayor
Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s office said today she will hold a historic hearing next week to decide whether Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick should be removed from office.
Granholm turned down a request by Kilpatrick’s lawyers to stop the process, and her office posted an order confirming the Sept. 3 hearing.
The date had been proposed for weeks, but the Democratic governor still had the right to scratch it.
Kilpatrick, 38, once a rising star in the Democratic Party, is charged with 10 felonies in two criminal cases. But the most immediate threat to his political future is Granholm’s constitutional authority to remove an elected official from office for misconduct.
