Most people, whether they hate their city or not, like to have a place they can refer to as home. We like to relay to our family history in a town or city to the future generations. The people of Benton Harbor Michigan are being forced against the wall. They are facing the threat of being completely ejected from everything they know. A band of private investors (lawyers, contractors, etc.) are more than eager to turn a small mostly African American community into a golf course! After being sold out by their former governor, new Governor Rick Snyder raised the taxes on poor and elderly people. City residents were surprised that elected official were fired like some cheap reality show and told the members they elected didn’t matter. This town has been declared as a failure and been appointed an emergency financial overseer who is basically a yes man to big brother. The people and the town are being treated like dogs. Even though this city has only 10,235 people, they all face the same ugly non-empathetic beast. Since birth certificates are a hot topic these days, perhaps many will not be alerted to the danger lurking by way of golf course and other investments.
Can anyone or group stop this from happening?
