LANSING -- The Detroit City Council’s request that Gov. Jennifer Granholm remove Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick from office because of his conduct in the text message scandal was delivered to Granholm’s office today.
Bill Goodman, the independent attorney hired by the City Council to assist with its investigation of the scandal, arrived at the Romney Building at 2:45 p.m. and headed up to the office of the governor’s legal counsel, Kelly Keenan.
The materials submitted included a two-page cover letter, a 10-page summary of charges and evidence against the mayor, a proof of service stating that Goodman had notified the mayor’s attorneys of the charges against Kilpatrick, a CD containing exhibits and transcript excerpts from three days of council hearings on the scandal and a one-page sworn statement signed by Council President Ken Cockrel Jr.
