Story outlines former Mayor's "access" fee

The brief item on Mlive.com isn't written very clearly, but it is an interesting take on former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's "access" fees.

The Kilpatrick family gives prostitutes a bad name. At least the young women on Eight Mile are very transparent about being for sale.

Someone I know, Jim (a longtime colleague of yours at the Journal, about six feet tall, soft-spoken, wears glasses; you know him too and can probably guess whom I'm talking about) said Kwame's Dad used to charge a "gatekeeper" fee of $10,000. For that much money, you could have direct access to Kwame to pitch an idea you had to do business with Detroit.
