About 60 members of Detroit municipal unions have been picketing before Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's State of the City address, urging his resignation or ouster.
They carried signs Monday evening with messages that included, "fire the mayor," "layoff Kilpatrick now" and "Kwame must go." The protesters cited the scandal over Kilpatrick's sexy text message exchange with his top aide, as well as public worker layoffs.
Emily Kunze is president of Local 2920 of the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees.
She says Kilpatrick's repeated dishonesty make it time for him to go.
AFSCME Local 207 President John Riehl says Kilpatrick has made a fool of himself and says he hopes the City Council or the law force him out.
