Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick reported for work at City Hall Thursday, the morning after his televised apology. Speaking about the text message scandal for the first time publicly Wednesday, Kilpatrick apologized repeatedly to residents, supporters, opponents, his wife and his three sons for what he called “the embarrassment and disappointment” of the past few days.
Kilpatrick spokesman James Canning said the mayor’s agenda for the day is “meetings, meetings, meetings.”
Canning said the meetings would be with staff and businesspeople. Canning declined to say what businesspeople with whom the mayor planned to meet.
