My first priority was to reconnect with my family and I think I've done that in a major way," said [Kwame Kilpatrick]. "My wife and I are closer than we've ever been, my children have their father back and that is the main thing. "The information that I've gained, the knowledge that I've gained," said Kilpatrick, "the experience that I've had, has made me a better person, made me a better man, a better father, and it's also going to make me a better leader in the future."

From a rumored party at the mayoral residence, complete with exotic dancers and a stripper beat down, allegedly served by a justifiably peeved first lady; to the infamous Whistleblower Trial in which the city of Detroit shelled out $850,000 to defend [Kwame Kilpatrick] against police officers he fired after they began investigating allegations that he was using his security detail to hide an extramarital affair; in addition to an $8.4 million lawsuit settlement to the officers, Detroit citizens have had a bumpy ride with Kilpatrick behind the wheel.

[Kwame Kilpatrick]: Being only one of 12 cities that ever hosted a Super Bowl, it makes people take a look at what else is happening. We are starting to rebuild and we want people to walk away saying, 'That's a good place to develop, that's a good place to move my company or build a new building in that resurging industry.

It's hard to get tickets, but residents can go to the NFL Experience whether you are 8 or 80. Regardless of income bracket, you can be a part of that. There also will be things happening from some of our high school players and retired players. This will mostly be an out-of-town event that is hosted in the city. Detroiters can also experience the Mot...

It includes, in no particular order of sluttishness: Kwame Kilpatrick, Jesse Jackson, James McGreevey, Ted Haggard, Gary Condit, Mark Sanford, John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, Eliot Spitzer, Antonio Villaraigosa, Arnold Schwarzenegger, James West, Larry Craig, David Vitter, John Ensign.
