"Alex Kotlowitz wrote a fascinating book in 1998 titled The Other Side of the River. The focus is on two Michigan towns: Benton Harbor, 92 percent black and poor, and St. Joseph, 95 percent white and prosperous. Lawrence O'Donnell says average annual income in Benton Harbor is just slightly above $10,000, but more than $33,000 in St. Joseph. Why is this important?"

MI Gov. Rick Snyder's Benton Harbor Takeover Tied to Shoreline Development for the Wealthy | AlterNet
MI Gov. Rick Snyder's Benton Harbor Takeover Tied to Shoreline Development for the Wealthy | AlterNet
"There is one dot, however, that Rachel Maddow did NOT connect. As I wrote about yesterday, one of the first things that Joseph Harris did was to fire a number of people on both the Planning Commission and the Brownfield Development Commission in Benton Harbor and replace them with people he hand-picked. These two commissions are the ones most intimately involved in decision-making about real estate development in Benton Harbor. They will decide who gets permits, what developments will look like and who gets to pick the ripe plums present in Benton Harbor. And they are now staffed largely by people chosen by the Czar of Benton Harbor."Full Article Here | AlterNet

Stealing Beachfront Parklands from the Children of Benton Harbor
"In 1917, John and Carrie Klock deeded a half mile of lake Michigan frontage to the City of Benton Harbor Michigan in memory of their deceased daughter Jean. Their gift consisted of 90 acres of globally rare natural resources that included Great Lakes Dunes, a Great Lakes Marsh and interdunal wetlands.
The donated land, named Jean Klock Park and was dedicated
"FOR THE CHILDREN" - "in perpetuity" - "FOREVER.""
www.savejeanklockpark.org
"Through the years the park has been threatened with development proposals and survived but in 2003 came the beginning of a new, and at the time, unforeseen threat. The city announced an interest in selling a portion of the park’s property for a lake front residential development. A lawsuit took place that was settled out of court allowing the development in exchange for permanent protections of the remaining 73 acres of the park. Within a matter of months it was discovered that there was a secret and far bigger interest in developing the park. That interest and ultimate threat to the park was of the Whirlpool Corporation’s desire for a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course and a glitzy second home community that would become the “Harbor Shores Golf and Beach Club."" www.savejeanklockpark.org | Jean Klock Park | Benton Harbor | Harbor Shores | Jack Nicklaus

Stop anti-immigrant legislation in Wisconsin: What is wrong with the Pridemore Bill | Defend Wisconsin
Stop anti-immigrant legislation in Wisconsin: What is wrong with the Pridemore Bill | Defend Wisconsin
"The proposed law would enable any law enforcement agency in the state to be given the capacity to detain an individual suspected of committing a crime for 48 hours if that person is unable to produce an identification document that establishes “proof of legal presence” in the state. Failure to produce such proof within 48 hours would require law enforcement to contact the Department of Homeland Security immigration and customs authorities. It would also require the law enforcement to transfer the individual over to federal custody and possibly out of state.
The Milwaukee-based group Voces de la Frontera has pointed out that the following behaviors are classified as crimes in certain jurisdictions in Wisconsin: jay-walking, extreme noise, barking dogs, not having a dog or cat license for a pet, public spitting, skateboard/roller skate violations, leaving keys inside a parked vehicle, public smoking violations, playing baseball outside designated areas, street auto repair, youth curfew violations. This list was compiled by Voces de la Frontera in their document “Questions about the Pridemore Bill.”"
