AP Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has vetoed $250,000 set aside by the City Council to pay for lawyers to try to remove him from office amid a text-messaging sex scandal. The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press report Friday's veto was among several Kilpatrick made to changes made by the council to his $3 billion budget. Council on Tuesday could decide whether to override the veto, and Councilman Kwame Kenyatta says he's sure that will happen. Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff are charged with perjury, misconduct in office and obstruction of justice. Kilpatrick faces forfeiture of office proceedings by the City Council in June. And Gov. Jennifer Granholm is looking into a council request that she remove Kilpatrick from office for misconduct.
