Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has pleaded guilty and struck a deal with prosecutors.

Under the deal Kilpatrick decided to plead guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice by committing perjury, agreed to serve four months in jail, pay up to $1 million in restitution, and serve five years' probation. He also pledged not to run for office during that five-year span.

Additionally...

The mayor will turn over his state pension to the City of Detroit, which paid $8.4 million to settle two whistle-blower lawsuits three former cops filed against the city. The mayor was charged with eight felony counts ranging from conspiracy to perjury to misconduct in office to obstruction of justice after the Free Press revealed that the mayor lied on the witness stand during a police whistle-blower trial and gave misleading testimony about whether he intended to fire a deputy police chief investigating allegations of wrongdoing by members of his inner circle.

Finally! Detroit can feel like a free city again! Get this dud mayor out of office and start fresh!
