In this April 29, 2008 file photo, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick talks to the media during a news conference after a speaking engagement at Samaritan Center in Detroit. The nine-member Detroit City Council agrees that Kilpatrick violated the City Charter by not divulging a confidentiality agreement that kept secret references to embarrassing and sexually explicit text messages between the mayor and his ex-top aide. But the group is split on what actions to take.
