Detroit mayor says he will have a comeback

Posted: 08:06 PM ET

(CNN) - A defiant Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick addressed the city of Detroit Thursday night listing what he said the city had accomplished under his leadership just hours after announcing his resignation amid a sex and perjury scandal.

"The city is much better shape than the city I received seven years ago," said Kilpatrick. "We in Detroit have done amazing things together."
What Kilpatrick did not mention in his 30 minute speech was the two felony charges he pleaded guilty to earlier in the day.
