The eventual clean up of Detroit
In January of 2002, Kwame Kilpatrick was elected Mayor of Detroit. This marked the downfall of Political corruption. Kilpatrick was corrupt as they come. He used city funds to fund his extravagant lifestyle. This is also what lead to the city declaring bankruptcy in 2013 making it the largest bankruptcy in the history of the USA. In 2010 Kwame Kilpatrick was arrested on tax fraud and since then has been hit with countless charges and never ending court fees.
