Hendrix loans total $7.1 million The Michigan Citizen OAKLAND COUNTY – Mayoral candidate Freman Hendrix and his business partners, doing business under at least five different company names, obtained a total of $7.1 million in loans from Comerica bank for a golf dome business operating over a landfill and under lease to a Detroit city vendor. Mulligan’s Golf Learning Center, Mulligan’s East, Mulligan’s of Auburn Hills, Mulligan’s Options and Mulligan’s Holdings are all Limited Liability Corporations (LLC) that have at one time or another done business as a golf dome operation at 3591 Joslyn Road, Auburn Hills. According to documents on file at Oakland County Courthouse, these are the companies under which Hendrix, David Katz, Dale A. Jurcisin and Brian Ashley borrowed money, was sued by unpaid vendors, defaulted on loans – as recently as June 15, 2005 – and obtained the multi-million dollar loan from Comerica bank. http://www.michigancitizen.com /default.asp?sourceid=&smenu=1 &twindow=&mad=&sdetail=2047&wp age=1&skeyword=&sidate=&ccat=& ccatm=&restate=&restatus=&reop tion=&retype=&repmin=&repmax=& rebed=&rebath=&subname= | ||

Helmut LIED!!! He was active in the business. He did business with a city contractor while he was the deputy mayor. He did business with a man, Robert Soave, whom he later buys a house from in a "sweetheart" deal. To top it off, he hires a company from Warren to do business with neglecting companies from Detroit and other parts of town. Warren is now suing Detroit. Helmut has completely sold out his community and is clearly not free of unethical behaviour or unsavory practices. | ||

Source...c'mon now...the same "source" that claimed only $9,000 of Kilpatrick's credit card charges was in dispute...the same "source" that advocated for a convicted cop killer with erroneous reports about his testimony and behavior...the same "source" that sponsored and promoted "The Sambo Awards"...the same "source" that routinely presents editorials filled with false and/or inaccurate information as journalistic stories "The Michigan Citizen" of course! | ||

Why did Helmut's business have to operate under so many pseudo names? That is the actions of a business trying to hide from creditors and pull other scams similar to the realestate company RIMCO. Another scandal that broke out under the Archer administration. | ||

IIRC, Archer tried squashing the sale of massive amounts of City-owned property to RIMCO, but was overridden by City Council. Truth: 4,694,236 Brian: 0 | ||

Skulker, the city council cannot sell land unless it is taken before them by the mayors office. The CC cannot initiate any sale of any city property. The same goes for those properties that revert to the city for non-payment of taxes. But you should know how the CC operates. The only reason that sale occured is because Archer asked for it by the CC. If he changes his mind after they vote, that is just beyond dumb. Maybe Helmut made him do it. | ||

Many business people form numerous entities. They do so for liability, tax and probably about a million other reasons. To label this activity as somehow suspect is naivete of the highest order. This goes on everyday and to anyone in the business world could not possibly be less suspicious. I have no idea if all of Hendrix's business activities are completely kosher. But nothing brought to light so far even comes close to even having a bad smell. Wishing it to be so (even wishing as hard as some of you) does not make it so. | ||

"Is Freman Hendrix Lying?" Freman is at Chene and Jefferson every satuday morning at 9:00am. He meets and greets with everyone there. Come ask him yourself. | ||

Good point, Jmil. I'm wondering how many Kwame cronies will have the guts to show up. | ||

Does "The Michigan Citizen" lie? "Only $9,000 of Kilpatrick's credit card charges were in question" ($210,000+) "The accused cop killer pummeled a witness in court" (lunged and missed) "The accused cop killer repeatedly screamed that this is a mistake" (crying and wimpering that "it was a mistake") Calling Detroiters, and Black Detroiters specifically, "stupid" on their radio program the day after the primary election...for not voting for McPhail Etc... | ||

I would hardly call myself a KK crony but I would be glad to ask Freloader about his business dealings. I have been invited to a meet and greet the candidate coming up soon and I plan on being there and asking him. I don't trust him and I think he is a liar who has a vested interested in selling Detroit out to the suburbs - since they are funding his campaign. Now don't get me wrong I don't think for a minute that KK is a saint - but I just need to figure out which crook is the least crooked by Nov. 8th. | ||

You people make me laugh. You have "uncovered" totally legit business procedings and post on here like it is some scandal. I guess to you people a Detroiter having an enterprise and not wasting time begging the burbs for money is scandalous enough. | ||

ILD: I disagree with both of your assertions here. First, I think Hendrix is as honest as most other politicians. Granted this isn't saying a lot, but it puts him at least on par with Kilpatrick. Second, and more importantly, I was going through the campaign finance reports that both Kilpatrick and Hendrix filed with County Clerk. Kilpatrick has received a greater percentage of his contributions from outside of Detroit than Hendrix has. How can you argue that Hendrix's campaign contributions make him a lackey for suburbanites when he's the one being backed by Detroiters? | ||

I don't know about yall, but I am bored as hell with these candidates. I have heard nothing, have seen nothing, it has been way too quiet. You would think that they would be going after the undecideds and going at them hard. They need to be going after them early. But, I guess they are so cocky about the election that both of them think they don't have to do this. I don't want nobody knocking on my door October 31, saying vote for me. Last minute crap doesn't impress me at all. | ||

The debates are coming up. Sept. 15, Oct. 17, and Oct 20. People are out working on the Hendrix campaign everyday. The media may not cover it, but folks are working hard. Hendrix for Mayor 2005! | ||

Hey, I just hope that one of the crooks can get the police to show up when I dial 9-1-1. | ||
Brian Member Username: Brian Post Number: 3088 Registered: 10-2003 Posted From: 67.37.84.166 |
Fnemecek, perhaps if you have to dial 911 that much then your neighborhood might just be too busy for them to get to you each night. In my 35 plus years of living in Detroit I have had to dial 911 3 times, all for assistance for other people. My own personal gauge of crime in the city. | ||
Fnemecek Member Username: Fnemecek Post Number: 1009 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 69.212.227.32 |
Then might just be a good idea for someone to reassign a few of the officers on the Mayor's security detail to patrol duty. Or reassign the officers assigned to protect the Chief of Police to patrol duty. Or spend less money lobster dinners in Atlanta and night clubs in Washingon DC and spend it on police officers instead. Or drive a regular car instead of a Lincoln Navigator and use the money saved for police. Et cetera, et cetera. Prior to Mayor Kilpatrick and the changes he made in DPD, I only had to dial 9-1-1 twice. I have to dial it more often then that this year alone that to Kilpatrick. |
