Channel 7 (local ABC-TV) is doing a nice job on the story right now. Mayor brought entire family, babysitter, on business trips. Didn't reimburse the city until over 2 years later...after the Detroit Free Press requested info about the card's expenses. His sister stayed in Las Vegas with the card when he wasn't even there. This clown is a joke. I'm still betting it's only 50-50 that he gets discarded from office. It'll probably be July before he starts heavily using the race card against the media. That tactic will work in his favor on a lot of Detroiters who may currently be on the fence.

If he was 60 years old or had the last name of "Young", I think he'd be given a free pass.

Most voters in Detroit are older blacks. I think they'll forgive one of their own like Coleman, but not some punk ass kid.

Especially since his top rivals are also black. Kwame was called "too white" by some in his first campaign. You got McPhail and Hendrix going after him, as well as others.
