Interesting VAGUE story. They are trying to cover up something here. NO ONE gets let go from a company - meaning they could have brought her into BCBS in another capacity if she was clean. This is fishy...rumor has it Hendrix used his connections to have her tried in Macomb Co. I am sure there is more to come on this story. The real issue here is IF his wife was involved in all this illegal stuff then is she fit to be our first lady? What makes Hendrix any better than KK? http://www.crainsdetroit.com/c gi-bin/article.pl?articleId=27 852 |

"Her job and some 20 others were dropped when the company lost the contract to audit Medicare claims." "NO ONE gets let go from a company" Ilovedetroit, I don't know where you work, but in the Auto industry this happens everyday. Ask anyone who works for a supplier. When you lose a contract job losses are sure to follow. "rumor has it Hendrix used his connections to have her tried in Macomb Co." When was she tried? The article states,"The federal investigation never resulted in criminal charges". "The real issue here is IF his wife was involved in all this illegal stuff then is she fit to be our first lady?" No, the real issue is that you guys can't stick to the real issues. You'd rather talk about rumors and innuendo, than the real problems this city is facing. |

ilovedetroit, Crain's is a credible source. Nothing in the article says that Hendrix's wife did anything wrong or illegal. It is you who is trying to imply that she did. Really, ilovedetroit, this is a non-story. We don't have to wait and see what might come out next because there's nothing more that can come out. Since you can't pin anything negative on Hendrix you'll try to pin something on his wife. How desperate does this sound to you, ilovedetroit? I know to me, ilovedetroit, this sounds very desperate. |

I used to work at Ameritech.... they decided to construct a new (IBM complatible) billing system.... after they did, all the folks working on the old (Unisys compatible) billing system were give 60 days to find another job within the company... otherwise they were terminated. The terminated folks did absolutely nothing wrong. They were just in the wrong department at the wrong time. Story sound familar?

HAHAHAHA Royce - My "fragile" psyche is just fine and it will be fine regardless of the election. If Hendrix wins I will have to treat him like George Bush - I ignore him. When I see his face or worse hear his voice I shut it off or don't look at it. In the case of Freman I will have to do the same - the face and voice have pretty much the same effect on me that Bush has. Don't worry ILD will be fine and I am not some puss who will have to "run away" from Detroit and move because my guy did not make it in. And to show you that I am not a prick...when Kilpatrick (and yes Metro I am officially voting for him now after hearing him speak the other night) beats Hendrix I won't do any I told you so's or hahahaha's. I will extend my hand to any Hendrix supporters and suggest they support the newly re-elected mayor for the betterment of our city. |

quote:They pledged their homes to receive the loans from Comerica, but the anti-Hendrix flyers made it appear that Hendrix alone obtained the $1 million based on the value of his home, which was valued at about $300,000. The golf dome later was damaged in a 2002 windstorm, the business lacked enough insurance and fell behind on some payments.
This shows that Crain's repeated what others wrote instead of investigating themselves. The biz had money problems before the windstorm. That was documented outside of the campaign mudslinging. Also, Anti-Hendrix flyers did not make it appear that way but Steve Wilson's report made it appear that way. But is Crain's unwilling to challenge WXYZ in a report? Is Crain's afraid of being proven wrong? This is Crain's typical tactic and why I no longer subscribe. They do no investigate but publish a series of press releases. |

ILD: You obviously need to spend less time schilling for the Kilpatrick camp and more time in the private sector, dealing with the issues that real Detroiters have to deal with every day of their lives. In the real world, people lose their jobs all the time when their employer loses a contract. Why do you think Michigan has such a high unemployment rate? Do you honestly think that all of the folks who got laid off when one plant or another closed were crooked? Do you really believe even one word of what you're saying? Freman Hendrix must be one hell of a candidate if the Kilpatrick camp has to stoop to stuff this stupid in order to attack him. |

Cheap words, ILD. As Hendrix himself said, "If you think you've got something, bring it on. Bring it on." We're only 40 days away from the election. Its time for the Kilpatrick camp to either show what they got or admit they are part of the worst administration in this City's history and resign. |

I have to agree with ILD on this one (yes, that was the Earth shaking you just felt). McPhail has returned to the rank of innocent by-standder. Moreover, everything I've heard is that she intends to stay their for the rest of her life. If she runs again, makes a highly visiable endorsement or otherwise moves towards public office then she becomes fair game. Until then, please refrain from attacking her. |

No matter what people in this town just love to hate her. Take a crack at me ... I don't care. Personally this forum is fun to me. I can be as crazy as I want on here and frankly I have a good time watching all the Hendrix supporters get so riled up.

I'm not taking away anyone's fun, Merchantgander. I am merely reminding everyone of a couple of rules that were taught to me. Both Freman Hendrix and Kwame Kilpatrick are each running for public office. You're welcome to pick a target and hit them all you want with just about anything that you want. Sharon McPhail is now a lame duck, for all practical purposes. She holds a seat on the City Council, but isn't running for re-election. Criticizing her for anything directly related to the performance of her current elected office is still acceptable, but personal attacks no longer are. ILD: Always a pleasure, sir. Politics is a bare-knuckled, contact sport - but it still has certain rules. |
