The Free Press recently wrote about convicted Synagro executive James Rosendall's abandoned composting facility in southwest Detroit.

As if the smell of rotting piles of unturned compost wasn't bad enough, the piles have spontaneously combusted within the past week and are now a smoky, smoldering mess.

The DFD has been on-scene numerous times to water it down, but the piles re-ignite within hours. To prevent them from re-igniting, heavy equipment would have to be brought on-site to continually turn the compost piles and lower the internal temperatures. However, with Rosendall's composting company in foreclosure, no one is accepting responsibility to stop the spontaneous combustion and the thick acrid smoke that is adding to Delray's air pollution.

If I remember correctly, Monica Conyer's vote was key to the rezoning of this property that allowed the composting in the first place. The Feds should move her ass up here from Camp Cupcake and make her breathe the foul odors and smoke that's coming from this property 24/7.
