Detroit mayor's political future back in court
Headline News
Arguments are under way in a Detroit courtroom, where a judge is expected to decide whether Gov. Jennifer Granholm can hold a hearing to remove Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick from office.
Wayne County Circuit Judge Robert Ziolkowski (zill-KOW-ski) handled other cases Friday before calling Kilpatrick's lawsuit against the governor.
Kilpatrick says he can't get a fair hearing from Granholm because the fellow Democrat held a private meeting in May to try to settle Kilpatrick's criminal perjury case and get him to resign.
The Detroit City Council is asking Granholm to use her constitutional power to remove Kilpatrick from office for misconduct. That hearing is set for Wednesday.
The mayor is accused of misleading council members into approving an $8.4 million settlement with fired police officers.
