Detroit Mayor Charged With Perjury

Is anyone honest anymore? Especially in government, you begin to wonder. Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was charged with perjury and other offenses and got a stern lecture about the importance of telling the truth. This happened after a bunch of raunchy text messages contradicted his sworn denials of an affair with his chief aids. The 37 year old "Hip Hop Mayor" who brought youth and vitality to the job in this struggling city of 900,000, could get up to 15 years in prison for perjury alone and would be automatically expelled from office if convicted. Even though there were mounting demands that he step down, he ignored them and said he looked forward to complete exoneration once all the facts were brought forth. I wonder. Time will tell and truth should win out. Where there's smoke,there is fire and looks like a blaze here.
