Actually, it seems odd that a Governor would have the power to summarily remove a mayor.Michigan Constitution
§ 10 Removal or suspension of officers; grounds, report. Sec. 10. The governor shall have power and it shall be his duty to inquire into the condition and administration of any public office and the acts of any public officer, elective or appointive. He may remove or suspend from office for gross neglect of duty or for corrupt conduct in office, or for any other misfeasance or malfeasance therein, any elective or appointive state officer, except legislative or judicial, and shall report the reasons for such removal or suspension to the legislature.
He has the power to remove State officers, but I'm not sure if this would apply to local officials

Oh let me tell you, I had a lot of beer too but the Yagermeister does me in. I couldn’t even say the word yagermeister for years without getting sick to my stomach!
When I was in college, I did my internship in the marketing dept. for a micro-brewery in Boston. I was paid in beer. Best job EVER!

Wasn't it last month that he ruled that private text messages from city-property cellphones are still private? Most companies say that use of their property is for business purposes only, and that messages are open for review at any time.

No, we don’t actually have a ping list set up just for the shenanigans of Kwame Kilpatrick. It’s the Michigan ping list.
