Married Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his Chief of Staff Christine Beatty got busted having an affair and may be facing perjury charges. Kwame and Christine had to testify under oath about the nature of their relationship and both swore it was strictly a professional one.

Investigators went through 14,000 text messages to provide evidence.

Sounds like someone is going to jail …

Now that 41 District workers have been fired or suspended after visiting pornographic Web sites on government computers, the city is cranking up the technology to keep an eye on all government computers.
