Had Kilpatrick been Mayor of Chicago - he would have been given a pass.

DETROIT — A federal judge will determine the fate of Kwame M. Kilpatrick on Thursday, when the former mayor of this beleaguered metropolis will be sentenced for widespread corruption that prosecutors say deepened the city’s financial crisis.

Prosecutors will ask for a minimum of 28 years in prison as they make their case before Nancy G. Edmunds, a judge in United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The punishment would rank among the nation’s toughest for major state and local public corruption cases.

Mr. Kilpatrick, 43, was convicted of two dozen counts in March that included charges of racketeering and extortion, adding his name to a list of at least 18 city officials who have been convicted of corruption during his tenure as mayor.
