52. Started out as the community gadfly

For the record, I don't or never have lived in Warren, but did live much of my life in the Detroit suburbs, so I do keep up with all the local news.

Fouts made his reputation in the 70's & 80's as the local community gadfly and rabble rouser so to speak. He would attend every city meeting & loved holding the local politicians accountable while being unrelenting most of the time. He was elected to the City Council where he served a couple decades and then was elected mayor approx. 10 yrs ago.

As I recall, he started out with a lot of good reforms, but over the years seemed to enjoy his power a little too much and became the type of bombastic politician he once seemed to despise.

He has had a feud with Macomb County Exec. Mark Hackel for awhile and has accused Hackel of creating these "fake" recordings
