2008 Woodie Awards
Rao, Lennox at odds
By: Angela Favot
Issue date: 2/25/08 Section: News
In contradiction, Bruce Fealk of Rochester Hills, who writes a blog criticizing State Rep. Joe Knollenberg called Vote No on Joe (Knollenberg), spoke to the senators after Lennox.
"I would ask you not take any action," he said.
Peters is running against Knollenberg in November for the 9th district U.S. House seat.
Fealk said he reviewed CMU's budget, and the Griffin Endowment Chair, the position Peters fills, is a privately endowed chair and does not come from taxpayers' dollars.
Lennox said CMU is a public university and taxpayers have the right to ask legitimate questions.
Fealk also said he called all the Board of Trustee members and each reported no complaints from any students about Peters.
"I don't think it's unusual or unethical for him to run for Congress," he said.
Fealk pointed out that three presidential candidates also are senators.
Lennox said Peters should have been at the meeting to defend himself.
"Gary Peters is an adult and a politician, and CMU should be answering these questions, not a paid bozo from Oakland County," he said.

For the record, Joe Knollenberg is a CONGRESSMAN and not a STATE REPRESENTATIVE.
It's time to fire Gary Peters and end our long campus nightmare.

Just because Gary Peters' $3,000-an-hour pay cheque comes from an endowment, doesn't mean the school is relived up its obligations as a government agency. (Continued…)

If the above quote and story are correct, then Dennis seems to have realized that he's not going anywhere with this. (Continued…)

Dennis Lennox's lies have gone far enough. For him to claim that his issue with Gary Peters is not political is utter nonsense. If it weren't political he wouldn't be holding press conferences with the Chair of the Michigan Republican Party, Saul Anuzis. (Continued…)

Bruce Fealk is weird. He's a grown man who has an unhealthy obsession with Joe Knollenberg and lately is obsessed with a young college student. He is a paid political operative, who works for MoveOn. (Continued…)

This saga has gone on long enough. CMU president Michael Rao needs to step up and end this controversy by enforcing the contract with Gary Peters.
Peters broke his contract when he announced his campaign for Congress. (Continued…)

Kind of makes you wonder what Bruce Freak does with that paper maché head of Knollenberg when he's alone...

Since is it weird to care about our country and the types of leaders we elect.
Joe Knollenberg has let his district down at every level. It's time for change

Kick Lennox out of CMU. Please. He's worthless.
