Go Steve Dolunt! He'd be chief in a perfect world...one of the most level-headed men I've ever known. Cheers, keep mis-spelling Kawamee. That'll help root out his minions here...if WE all mis-spell it, it'll make 'em wild. |

notice several witnesses have come to their senses... Like Sherece Flemming - especially considering she sent the text telling CB that it was okay to FIRE Gary Brown because he was an appointee...what a goofball! |

I don't know- I worry about an O.J. type setup with a bunch of young guys as jurors who wonder what the big fuss is all about. I can see that easily. |

Every member of the EPU past/present should be called.. witness or hostile witness These people know most of the things that went on in the mayor's life in the past few years. All the 'stuff' we're dying to know. |

It's not about sex. It is about firing people who questioned using taxpayers money for the wrong purposes and getting fired for it and the taxpayer having to pay them off. Prosecutors will have no trouble showing how the taxpayer was abused in the process and the system mislead by the lies. Sex is fun lying is a illegal. |

This pile of crap kind of reminds me of Watergate..with a touch of Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky....the misdeed, although reprehensible, is being dwarfed by the cover up ultimately making everything exponentially worse. Kilpatrick is missing the point, nobody gives a flying f--- about the text messages themselves, it is the abuse of power that is taking place and has been taking place for years. His lamenting on possibly going to jail because of text messages sounds more like a spoiled kid than anything else. Mr. Kilpatrick! Grow up! |
