Detroit Mayor extramarital affair unveiled by Tatiana Hadarova

Last week a scandalous unfolding was made, when romantic text messages unveiled an extramarital affair between Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and Chief of Staff Christien Beatty. What is worse for them that 6 years ago, in 2002 and 2003 they both denied any rumours about having any affair, but Detroit Free Press said in its story published last Thursday that it examined 14.000 text messages on Beatty's pager from those years and found lots of examples. Kilpatrick and Beatty testified last summer in a trial of one of two whistleblower lawsuits that have cost taxpayers more than 9 million U.S. dollars. Now they are being investigating whether they lied under oath when they denied having any romantic and sexual ties between them. The most shocking fact about this case is that they were both unveiled by flirtatious text messages, which were found on thier pagers and mobile phones. "These five and six-year old messages reflect a very difficoult period in my personal life ", Kilpatrick said. "It is profoundly embarassing to have these extremely private messages now displayed in such a public manner.My wife and I worked our way through these intensely personal issue years ago." Both Kilpatrick and Beatty are now dealing with the matter privately. Kilpatrick is now asked to resign by union which represents 900 municipal workers. Reactions and opinions of city council workers and Detroit citizens are mixed.
