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

What's at Stake in Benton Harbor
maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com
The first thing you folks note about the story of Benton Harbor, Michigan, is that the state has picked a very black town for its first action under the new and so-called financial martial law.
The Maddow Blog - What's at stake in Benton Harbor
"Although the heart of Jean Klock Park has been privatized for three holes of a championship golf course, there are unresolved questions regarding federal permits which were issued in order for the golf course development to proceed. Litigation is ongoing, and the federal lawsuit filed in August, 2008, is on appeal in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Jean Klock Park is located on Lake Michigan’s eastern shore in Benton Harbor, a rustbelt city abandoned by manufacturing and related industries. One significant corporate headquarters persists, however. Whirlpool Corporation, located in an adjoining township, announced the closing of its last manufacturing-related facility in Michigan, which resulted in a loss of 216 jobs."
This a local article link different from the above Maddow Video link...

Gov. Scott Walker Reportedly Planning Financial Martial Law In Wisconsin - Rick Ungar - The Policy Page - Forbes
Gov. Scott Walker Reportedly Planning Financial Martial Law In Wisconsin - Rick Ungar - The Policy Page - Forbes

"According to the reports, should a locality’s financial position come up short, the Walker legislation would empower the governor to insert a financial manager of his choosing into local government with the ability to cancel union contracts, push aside duly elected local government officials and school board members and take control of Wisconsin cities and towns whenever he sees fit to do so.
Following the lead of Michigan GOP Governor Rick Snyder, Walker is said to be preparing a plan that would allow him to force local governments to submit to a financial stress test with an eye towards permitting the governor to take over municipalities that fail to meet with Walker’s approval."
"Yes, this has really happened right here in the United States of America."
"Walker’s plans give further credence to the notion that the efforts of the GOP governors with Republican majorities in their state legislative bodies are part of a coordinated plan to enforce a right-wing agenda designed to not only destroy state, county and municipal employee unions, but to take control of local governments by replacing elected officials with appointees, both corporate and individual, of the state’s highest executive officer.
More on this as it becomes available."

"Remember when we chuckled at the Michigan Governor Snyder, who wanted the Michigan legislature to approve his plan to permit him to declare "Financial Martial Law" in cities and other governmental bodies having tough economic times? The law would permit the governor to replace city councils, school boards and other governmental positions. Eminent domain on steroids. I laughed and suggested a bumper sticker in the U.P. of, "Your Governor is worse than ours!"
Well, that was then, now we know another one of Walker's little secrets. We have discovered that Wisconsin's governor has the same twisted idea for Wisconsin..."Full Article Here | Fighting Bob - GarveyBlog
