VIDEO | Emergency Manager Harris claims Benton Harbor supports him | Michigan Messenger

Emergency Manager Harris claims Benton Harbor supports him | Michigan Messenger

Benton Harbor Emergency Manager Joe Harris said last night that 90 percent of the local citizens believe that he is the “angel of common sense” though he acknowledged that no poll has been taken.

Earlier this month Harris used new powers granted under Public Act 4 — the Emergency Manager law — to remove all decision making power from Benton Harbor’s elected officials.

“They were effectively … fired by the state legislature,” Harris told
Fox 2 News. “… Public Act 4 of 2011 stripped all local government legislators and the mayors and the city officials of the power that they once had. The order that I issued a couple weeks ago simply reiterated the fact that these individuals no longer had the authority that they once had.”

Harris, who formerly served as Chief Financial Officer and as Auditor General for the city of Detroit, said that it is conceivable that he will terminate contracts for public workers in Benton Harbor and he said that Mayor Bing will not be able to address Detroit’s financial problems without authority to change the terms of collective bargaining agreements."View Video Here

Maddow on Benton Harbor EFM takeover | Michigan Messenger

Maddow on Benton Harbor EFM takeover | Michigan Messenger

By Ed Brayton | 04.19.11

Rachel Maddow had a segment on her show last evening looking at the controversy over the Emergency Manager in Benton Harbor nullifying election results and forbidding elected bodies in that city from taking any actions whatsoever. She specifically cited the Michigan Messenger.

Maddow specifically mentioned the Jean Klock Park situation, a story that the Messenger has been following closely for years — and most of the media in the state have been ignoring. A large chunk of that park, deeded to the city on the condition that it remain a public park forever, was leased to private developers to be made into a golf course.

Maddow Gets Radio Silence On Michigan FOIA Questions (VIDEO) | TPMDC

Posted on Twitter by: TPM Talking Points Memo
Rachel Maddow follows up TPM's Michigan FOIA story. Finds conservative think tank, donors unwilling to talk http://tpm.ly/eUw4VX ^@evanmc_s

"On last night's episode of her show, Maddow described the response she got from Mackinac and the donors that fund it when she asked about the FOIAs: nervous silence.

The Prince Foundation, which is owned by the parents of the founder of Blackwater, were particularly uninterested in discussing the story.

"The Prince Foundation did not so much say 'no' to us as they did say 'we have no idea what you are talking about,' and then they seemed very alarmed that we had called them," Maddow told viewers. "And then they hung up on us.""
