*Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick named a new chief of staff Tuesday, a day after the woman who previously held the post resigned amid allegations that she and the mayor lied under oath about an affair.
Kandia Milton, who has served as deputy chief of staff and liaison to Detroit's City Council, was appointed to Christine Beatty's job, Kilpatrick announced in a written statement released Tuesday.
In a letter to Kilpatrick that was released by his office on Monday, Beatty said she could no longer effectively carry out her duties.
A prosecutor launched an investigation last week into the allegations, which surfaced when the Detroit Free Press detailed sexally-tinged text messages between Kilpatrick and Beatty. (Source)
The mayor is also set to address 'Text-gate' tonight.
