1. He is fighting it in court but.....

He will not profit from it until his huge financial obligation is paid back to Detroit. I am just thrilled he is no longer polluting our state. The day he left the air felt cleaner.

2. ... yes, i wish Texas would keep him.

i certainly won't be buying his book.

It's not going to be a run away best seller that pays his debt to the Court, that's a given.
