The on-again, off-again legislation to give federal approval to a land swap negotiated in 2002 by then-Governor John Engler is apparently off again. Detroit Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, mother of Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, put the kibosh on the legislation.
Expect this legislation to be revisited, as two sponsors, Rep. John Dingell, and Rep. Bart Stupak, support the legislation. Rep. Dingell's support is critical, as he is the senior member of the Michigan congressional delegation, and has significant allies in Congress.
