But that amount eventually was cut significantly. Last year, under a court order, the prosecution recommended cutting Kilpatrick's debt by more than half — from $4.5 million to $1.6 million after an appeals court ruled that Kilpatrick’s restitution calculation “was erroneous” and should have been based more on the city’s losses, “rather than on Kilpatrick’s gain.”
Now, prosecutors are recommending trimming another $116,400 off of Kilpatrick's restitution tab -- a figure that represents what the government would have paid another contractor for a sewer job had the bidding process not been manipulated
