Detroit Mayor faces removal hearing

As we speak (so to say) Michigan Governor J. Granholm is hearing testimony on if Detroit Mayor K. Kilpatrick is to be removed from office.

This is after Kilpatricks lawyers went to court, saying that Granholm does not have the authority to remove him. This argument was rejected, so the procedure is moving on.
