Description
Gil Hill was a mayoral candidate in 2001. He ran against Kwame Kilpatrick to succeed the Archer Administration. Mayor Dennis Archer had to everyone’s surprise, decided not to run again for the office of mayor. Archer instead went into private life and now sits on many boards of companies in and around the city of Detroit. Hill was supposed to be a sure thing. He had a lot of name recognition. Gil was on the city council and was frequently in the news. Also Gil Hill is the same who played the boss of the now famous Beverly Hill’s Cop, also known as Eddie Murphy.
Adultery, philanderer, skullduggery, infidelity are some of the labels and accusations that have been thrown at Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Not only that but more than one political person has referred to the mayor as a thug. A thug is something like a gangster but one who lacks the mob-type organization and is reduced to mere petty crimes.
Not only did the first debate, Thursday between Freman Hendrix and Kwame Kilpatrick show fireworks but it also illustrated the difference in their characters. Kilpatrick is clearly the better speaker, better communicator and better at handling issues in a public forum. For all of Hendrix experience in city government, being a people person is not one of his strong points. But that will have to change if he expects to become the next mayor and be successful at the job.
