Will somebody just cut up Kwame Kilpatrick's credit card? This time the Detroit mayor is in trouble for charging a trip to the Bahamas on his city MasterCard.

The December trip was intended as  business, Kilpatrick spokeswoman Ceeon Quiett tells the Free Press. But the mayor decided upon his return that he'd spent more time soaking up the sun than working for the people of Detroit. Seven weeks later he paid the city back $1,564 to cover digs, eats and phone calls at Nassau's Atlantis Royal Towers.

Christopher Swope was GOVERNING's executive editor.
