“I don't know how you describe him. He was an executive at Cox Communications who got elected easily as mayor. He has certainly been all over the block since. He's hard to pin down.”
Ed Renwick
“It is like what (Oakland Mayor) Jerry Brown said, 'You can't go this far with mayors,' ... It is like telling us to get out of town.”
Allen Settle
“The suggestion that the mayor is limited to doing only what he proposed during his re-election campaign is absurd.”
Edward Skyler
“When the mayor was elected, the administrative assistant was a position he requested be added. Because he was the first black mayor in Selma - something that got attention worldwide - he felt he needed someone skilled in administrative work. If you go into his office, he's rarely ever sitting there by himself. Calls came in all the time requesting him to speak and still do.”
Jean T. Martin
“Without question, Mayor Kilpatrick and Oakland County Executive Patterson personify the tremendous opportunities and challenges this region faces in the areas of economic development, regionalism and our ongoing struggles with race relations. We look forward to constructive dialogue on these issues that are critical to the region's progress.”
Sam Logan
“We should have a very strong mayor and a president of Council, ... The two functions, the legislative and the executive, should be more clearly defined.”
David Crowley
“The mayor is glad it's over. He knew on election night that he won. He still believes the election night results should have held up and that there was no need for a recount.”
William Phillips
