CASH ‘N TRASH As Archer’s top garbage man, Hendrix deals mix personal, public By Teresa Kelly The Michigan Citizen DETROIT – From 1994 through 2000, Freman Hendrix was chairman of the Greater Detroit Resource Recovery Authority. GDRRA is the quasi-public body charged with handling trash disposal and running the city incinerator. As chairman, Hendrix had oversight over contracts with City Management Inc. and owner Tony Soave, Waste Management (WM) and Comerica Bank. The same companies figure in all Hendrix personal investments. Documents obtained under the freedom of information act tell a story of intertwining relations between Hendrix the city official and Hendrix the investor, raising possible conflict of interest questions. In May, 1996 Hendrix and his business partners, operating as Mulligan’s Golf Learning Center, signed a 20-year lease agreement with Waste Management for a former landfill site on which they built a failing golf business. http://www.michigancitizen.com /default.asp?sourceid=&smenu=1 &twindow=Default&mad=No&sdetai l=2171&wpage=1&skeyword=&sidat e=&ccat=&ccatm=&restate=&resta tus=&reoption=&retype=&repmin= &repmax=&rebed=&rebath=&subnam e= | ||

Yawn! I'm still looking for that article in the Michigan Citizen about DPD not being able to respond to all of the calls to 9-1-1. I have no idea why they think stuff like this is a more important use of ink than the 9-1-1 situation. | ||

So public safety and REAL problems facing the residents of the City of Detroit are somehow less of a campaign issue than the Citizen's beef with Archer? This is why people don't take you seriously around here- the only issues you care about are non-issues with scant evidence to support them. | ||

Archer didn't do shit for us in the neighborhoods but what do you know aram living out in Livonia...or wherever it is they all the look the same out there. Stick to what you know in the burbs. | ||
The_aram Member Username: The_aram Post Number: 4255 Registered: 10-2003 Posted From: 141.213.175.233 |
Where do you keep pulling this Livonia stuff from? Are you attempting some kind of racial baiting with the fact that Livonia is one of the most racially homogenous places in the metro area? Nice try. | ||

Start spending more time within the Detroit City Limits and, trust me, that story will become much than a yawn for you. More importantly, you'll also start to understand why Helmut Freman Hendrix has a 19% point lead in the polls and why that lead is only growing.
Actually, Aram has already talked about where he lives in other posts so I can back him up in his honesty. He lives in Ann Arbor where he's a student at the University of Michigan. Ann Arbor, depending on who you ask, may or may not be a suburb of Detroit. Aram is decidedly one of those who are argue that it's not. | ||

Aram - And thanks for trying to dogde the fact you don't live in Detroit "I don't live in a Detroit suburb"...done with you. I only talk to Detroiters about Detroit issues - you can't even vote here, you have no idea what we really face. What is your big line "I am supporting Hendrix"...what are you supporting him with? Your jock? | ||
The_aram Member Username: The_aram Post Number: 4258 Registered: 10-2003 Posted From: 141.213.175.233 |
If you didn't know I don't live in the city, you obviously haven't been paying attention. And isn't it obvious that I really have no control or means to live in Detroit at the current juncture? As I've told Supersport and others who love to play the residency card, if you can figure out a bullet train or something to get me to class every day, I'll move to Detroit in a second. I grew up in a Detroit suburb. But for right now, A2 is home. Got anything else you want to know? If you don't like discussing Detroit with people who don't live in the city, hit the road. The guy who pays the bills doesn't live in Detroit. Neither do many of the regulars. | ||

Lowell is not on here all the time defending "supporting" a mayoral candidate like you Aram. As for the rest of the non-Detroiter I could give a f*#k what they think. Unless you live here you don't have a stake. Your and their opinions don't matter to me - put your money where your mouth is and buy here. Do non_Detroiters think we can't figure out our own problems and act on them? It is a lot of those north 8 mile attitudes that hurt us or in your case west of Telegraph. | ||

REGARDING ILD's COMMENTS ABOUT ARAM'S RESIDENCY You know what is so darn ironic? ILD and Brian posted not too long ago that "anger" on the Hendrix supporters was a sign of desperation on the part of their candidate. Even though we never once posted any profanities or obsenities, we were still "angry". Then ILD posts a couple of implied profanities and does so in an angry tone. So my question thus is: if complaining about 9-1-1 service implies anger and, therefore, desperation on the part of Hendirx supporters then what does posting profanities imply about the level of desperation within the Kilpatrick campaign? REGARDING ARAM'S RESIDENCY Going away to college or to serve in the military are two reasons for living outside the Detroit City Limits that no one in their right mind should criticize. Obtaining a college education is a good thing and I was proud of Mayor Kilpatrick when he talked about the fact that he has more education than Freman Hendrix. (FYI: Kilpatrick has a law degree whereas Hendrix only a bachelors degree). However, I take pains to point out that even the man standing strong for Detroit, Kwame M. Kilpatrick left Detroit in order to get his college education. (He graduated from MSU where he was classmates with State Senator Samuel "Buzz" Thomas). If Aram is still living in Ann Arbor after graduation, and continues to comment on Detroit's affairs, then it is acceptable to tell him to shut up. Until then, please respect the man for trying to get an education - just like Mayor Kilpatrick did. | ||
Fnemecek Member Username: Fnemecek Post Number: 1130 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 70.236.173.228 |
With that in mind, ILD, will you ask Mayor Kilpatrick to return all of the campaign contributions that he received from suburbanites? | ||
Ilovedetroit Member Username: Ilovedetroit Post Number: 1298 Registered: 02-2005 Posted From: 68.40.226.188 |
Hey Aram can live wherever he wants...just tired of hearing who he is supporting when he can't vote. And I am tired of suburbanites telling us what to do. Calm down Frank those veins are going to pop in your neck.   | ||
Fnemecek Member Username: Fnemecek Post Number: 1131 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 70.236.173.228 |
ILD: The veins in my neck are fine. Oh, and someone emailed me off-list to remind me that Mayor Kilpatrick graduate from Florida A&M; not MSU w/ Buzz. Still, this means that he had to go even farther than Aram did in order to get his education. | ||

"And I am tired of suburbanites telling us what to do." Again, "Ilovedetroit" you originally claimed to be a Ferndale resident when you first came to the forum. Still can't keep your stories straight. | ||

ILD, you claimed to be a Ferndale resident? Or is Metro trying to twist your stuff up. He is really good and getting information wrong. | ||
The_aram Member Username: The_aram Post Number: 4263 Registered: 10-2003 Posted From: 141.213.175.233 |
metro, do you mind posting where ILD said she was from Ferndale? Because I've searched the archives. And I can't find it. If you're going to keep on with this schtick, I want some proof. | ||

Metrodetguy Member Username: Metrodetguy Post Number: 1919 Registered: 11-2003 Posted From: 69.221.38.85 |
Aram, would erased posts still show up in the archives? Bratt, again, why would you try the exact same act that failed "Ilovedetroit" and Quinn so miserably with their shilling for McPhail and now Kilpatrick? Again, "I will not be voting" and "I would not vote if the election was today" mean two different things. Likewise, repeatedly slamming a candidate and "impartial" or "undecided" don't exactly add up. Nice try though. | ||
Bratt Member Username: Bratt Post Number: 286 Registered: 01-2004 Posted From: 70.236.202.22 |
Okay, one more time cuz you aren't too bright. I don't like either candidate...and I never used the word impartial. One more time.....I DON'T LIKE EITHER ONE! Man are you irritating! I feel like I am trying to explain myself to my three year old. | ||
Metrodetguy Member Username: Metrodetguy Post Number: 1922 Registered: 11-2003 Posted From: 69.221.38.85 |
So Bratt, when are you going to "announce" that "you were at a Kilpatrick event and he gave off this confident vibe which made you decide to vote for him"? Let's just cut out the other nonsense and get right to the point. | ||

MD is busted from another Helmut supporter. MD posts things that never happened and uses them to distract from Helmut's shortcommings. Every time Helmut does something stupid, MD lets folks know how he magically keeps track of posts that don't exist. This time however Aram busted MD in plain view. Oops! (At least BD is smart enough to know Helmut is winning and has stopped posting.) | ||

Brian, speaking of "things that never happend" and "stupid"...what happend to your Hendrix super-dooper conspiracy theories?

ILD, I maybe "tiresome" but I've noticed you've not as often gone to your fantastic claims and allegations. Is it possible that I and others may have taught you something? Although it would be interesting to see the percentage of your 1300+ posts that demean Hendrix as opposed to any other subject. | ||
Ilovedetroit Member Username: Ilovedetroit Post Number: 1303 Registered: 02-2005 Posted From: 68.40.226.188 |
Jams - I am sure that of your 2203 post how many of them have a shred of intelligence attached to them? And how many of them are constantly questoning others trying to make them wrong - that is your typical post..."who is wrong and I am right". | ||
Jams Member Username: Jams Post Number: 2205 Registered: 10-2003 Posted From: 70.229.124.182 |
You'll have to read threads other than the mayoral to determine that. If being questioned makes you uncomfortable, I might suggest politics may not be the best career path for you. | ||
