Detroit's Channel 7 WXYZ Action News recently reported on investigative evidence they have that even as late as two weekends ago during the King holiday, Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was held up in a local hotel known as the Grove Park Inn "nestled in the mountains" of western North Carolina with another woman who was not his wife Carlita nor former Chief of Staff, Christine Beatty.
He was there to appear at a Martin Luther King prayer breakfast. However, with his wife and three children back home, Kilpatrick and a "companion" took time for a romantic two-hour “Couple’s Retreat” at the world renowned spa. Video of the full report can be found at the WXYZ web site.This comes on the heels of the release of incriminating text messages between him and Beatty.After first refusing to acknowledge the mayor’s presence in North Carolina, his spokesman eventually confirmed the story, but would provide no other details about the mayor's spa treatments or why the hotel bill shows he was not alone. In other developments...
Kilpatrick has appointed a new Chief of Staff less than 24-hours after the resignation Beatty. In a press release this morning the mayor is naming longtime top aide Kandia Milton as his new chief of staff.Milton’s hiring is effective immediately according a prepared statement from the mayor’s office.
In addition to all this, the Detroit City Council today voted to postpone debate into whether to order its own investigation into the developing text messaging scandal involving Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Also, there is a good chance that Kilpatrick and Beatty will not have to repay $9 million paid by the City of Detroit. The only way the city will recover any money from Kilpatrick and Beatty is if they are convicted of lying at the police trial and sentenced by a judge to pay restitution, the experts said.And finally, for now, Kilpatrick has resigned from the board of his alma mater, Florida A&M. Kilpatrick submitted the letter of resignation Monday to the foundation chairman, Joseph L. Webster, effective immediately.
