I am not certain whether to pity Kwame or to ridicule him. It seems he definitely definitely sought to redefine corruption as mayor of Detroit. Perhaps, he witnessed so many of his predecessors get away with it. But he seemed to do so without even trying to be discreet.
Now, even after having relinquished his office so long ago, he appears to be still dealing with the fallout. Certainly wish him the best, but it seems he brought this upon himself.
