"Detroit mayor’s aide quits amid texting scandal

DETROIT - Christine Beatty, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's chief of staff, said Monday she is resigning amid allegations that she and the mayor lied under oath about an affair.

In a letter to Kilpatrick that was released by his office, Beatty said she believes she can no longer effectively carry out her duties. Her resignation takes effect Feb. 8.

"I painfully regret the devastation that the recent reports have caused to the citizens of Detroit, to my co workers, to the Mayor's family and to my family and friends," Beatty wrote in the letter.

Kilpatrick spokesman James Canning said the mayor's office had no comment."

1. There's no excuse
The citizens of Detroit had to pay $8.5m for firing the cops who were investigating the mayor's misuse of the city's staff.

Their spouses can forgive them if they see fit, but the citizens should not.

2. I mean this is exactly fucking like old Bill. It's even a civil case!
I can't believe someone would be so stupid, but it's a typical man for you, thinking with his dick.

6. I don't think it is the same
The cops who were investigating the mayors misuse of security won $8.5m civil suit for unjustified termination.

This is much more like Rudy.

3. Once Again.........................
throw the woman under the political bus. If I'm not mistaken it takes two and he needs to resign also. But I would bet he will walk away from it and she will be re-hired into another position for the city. That's just the way it works.
