North Texas resident, and disgraced former Detroit Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, is in a courtroom back in Michigan this morning, answering questions about his finances in a hearing about restitution he may owe the city of Detroit.
The Detroit Free Press is live blogging the proceedings. It’s the first time I’ve heard a large house in Southlake described as “transitional housing.”
Kilpatrick just admitted that the nonprofit Kilpatrick Civic Fund — established for voter education and to improve Detroit’s neighborhoods — was used to pay for Kilpatrick’s home in Texas.
Referring to the fund’s board, Kilpatrick said: “They had a meeting and decided that because I was the lead fund-raiser for this organization and because I was out of a job, they agreed they would pay for some moving expenses … and for some transitional housing, short -term.”
