Benton Harbor, MI is 10,235 population town. 85.5% of the residents are African-American. The per capita income is among the lowest in the state: $10,235.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder recently castrated the city government of the struggling town, using his controversial “Emergency Financial Managers” law. The law, as Raw Story previously reported, allows Snyder to “take over municipalities that don’t pass a financial stress test.”
On Tuesday night, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow made the case that Snyder, Whirlpool (global headquarters in Benton Harbor), Harbor Shores (a developer) and assorted political cronies are using the newly enacted law to grab prime beachfront property deeded to the city’s residents in 1917 in order to develop it into a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course and luxury “signature” homes.
Watch the segment below, which originally aired on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show on April 19, 2011.
M.C.L Comment: I know I posted this video last night but again the local media either got their heads in the sand or they're on the nerd's payroll because they're refusing to report on this takeover.

The stupidity is overwhelming in this one.
Please take note: Any land grabbing that occurred regarding Harbor Shores occurred under Gov. Grandmole.
The course is finished and actually opened LAST YEAR, before the election.
Please come back down to earth.
Please douche if Granholm tried to pull something like this you and the other mouth breathers on the right will be throwing your ape shit at the screen.
Or start talking about having revolution against the Granholm tyrant. But since it's a Republican doing it in that small world view of yours it's ok.
Since you seem to have multiple problems with English, I'll say this R E A L S L O W for you:
The "land grab", if there was one, occurred under Grandmole. THE COURSE WAS OPENED IN 2010. The Nerd did not take office until 2011.
Is it any wonder that the Republican party is now in charge of all branches of gov't in this State?
Your stupid was rejected by the voters.
I wished you right wingers get a better grasp of reality.
The EFM that's in Benton Harbor didn't have this kind of power during Granholm's tenure as governor. The power he has now came from that bill that was passed under Rick Snyder and the Republicans.
Since you're giving out advice Honkey maybe you can give your buddies in the tea party a spelling lesson.
Finally to your voters rejecting comment it seems the only thing voters are rejecting is the Republicans check it out.
Poll: Snyder would lose do-over to Bernero for Michigan governor

Don't worry Honkey(actually YOU should) there's an election coming up next year and we'll see who gets rejected.
