This article is about how Kwame Kilpatrick was denied a bid to lower his court-ordered restitution payment by 99.9%. Instead of paying 6,000 dollars he tried to only pay $6. He was denied due to "lack of merit". This story is very newsworthy because the initial story about Kilpatrick headlined for many months. I think he should have to pay every penny of the restitution and I think that the fact that it was already lowered by 50% is not very justified. What Kilpatrick did affected many people in so many negative ways so updates on this story are important for people to hear about.
